 Few
natural places in North America offer the wildlife viewing opportunities
found at remote and beautiful
Anan Creek. Experience
the thrill of taking off from the Ketchikan waterfront by floatplane
with a veteran Alaska bush pilot on this unique wildlife expedition
only available to a small number of visitors. Fly deep into
the vast Tongass National Forest to one of Alaska's premier bear
viewing areas. This premier bear viewing location is one of a few
sights in the world where you can watch both brown and black bear
feed on spawning salmon. This once in a lifetime experience
is only available to a select few as access to Anan Creek is restricted
by U.S. Forest Service Permit.
After departing the Ketchikan waterfront
you will fly by Salmon Falls Resort, historic Loring (established
before Ketchikan), over
beautiful Behm Canal and continue on over the rugged Cleveland Peninsula.
This is one of the most spectacular natural wilderness areas in this
part of' Alaska. After landing on serene Anan Bay, you will receive
a personal briefing from a U.S. Forest Service Park Ranger. Your
naturalist bear guide will escort you on a pleasant half-mile hike,
along a groomed trail bordering a creek, to a secure bear observatory
overlooking a beautiful waterfall.
 Once
on the viewing platform, you can look down on stunning rapids as
the fast flowing creek cascades towards the sea and the large numbers
of salmon in the stream congregate to complete their spawning journey.
Bears gather here to feed on the large run of pink salmon, as they
head upstream to spawn. Bald eagles will be in abundance as they
await the scraps left by the bears. You can view seals feeding on
the bountiful harvest in the lagoon. Mink, marten and wolf also frequent
the area. Ample time is allowed to observe the wildlife activity
in this forest ecosystem before the hike back to your awaiting aircraft.
Interpretation by your pilot and guide will enhance this
truly intimate natural experience, perfect for the nature lover
and photographer.
Wear comfortable hiking footwear and waterproof
outerwear. Wildlife sightings are frequent, however they cannot be
guaranteed.
