I Saw Many Bears at the Anan Creek Bear Observatory near Ketchikan Alaska

The first time I went to Alaska, I only saw one bear and it was from the road. A bear was in a berry patch below eating and it was actually in the Yukon. I kept hearing that no one saw bears so I didn’t feel so bad but when we went back for our second trip, I was determined to find some bears.

Anan Creek Bear Observatory is a terrific way to see numerous bears in their natural habitat.

Our tour included a 40 minute flight each way from Ketchikan, and then a 1/2 mile walk up a trail to the Observatory deck.

We spent 1.5 hours watching both black & brown bear fishing for the salmon making their way upstream at the Anan Creek.

It is staffed by the US Forest Service and they limit the number of that come into Anan each year, so book in advance for this tour.

Our tour guide was a nice low key man but I had no doubt that he had protection in case we had a situation. The bears are not allowed to cross the huge sharp grids and they have so much salmon in the lake that they are never hungry. The bears do not even bother the birds that land right beside them since there is ample samon.

Amazing place and well worth the price. If you go on only one excursion during your trip, this should be the one.
