072016 We had every intention of going to the Anan Bear Observatory but as we heard more about the bad anchorage and possibly having to motor 7 miles in our dinghy, it looked less likely. We did have friends who loved it and highly recommend going.

Then going to Coffman Cove instead of Wrangell, we were farther away so we found another Observation Site that we could tie up Celestial at a dock and walk to, so we did that one instead! Unfortunately this year the salmon aren't running yet so the bears aren't gathering as soon as in past years. We did have a great hike, ate huckleberries and blueberries, saw lots of chipmunks, a cute little frog, eagles and lots of SCAT so we knew bears were around, just not checking for salmon yet. The lake was very picturesque also. Just sorry I can't show more than one picture but please email us if you want more information or pictures!
