Today we flew on a floatplane first time I’ve ever been on one which was cool. The flight was twenty-five minutes of breathtaking views of homesteads, mountains with dense forest, pristine lakes and a great view of inside passage shaped by massive glaciers.
When we landed, we were met by this Alaskan Naturalist who lives in the forest. After a short drive to the trail w got out of the jeep and began our half mile hike to a viewing platform that overlooks a stream brimming with salmon. Although they don’t guarantee we see Bears, this is a good place to try and see them since they know that’s where they can get salmon. We ended up only seeing a small black bear sitting in our path, but once he saw us, he ran into the forest.

Follow us on our journey our next destination is Wrangell, Alaska.
