Bear Viewing in Alaska
Many bears inhabit Alaska’s Chigmit Mountain Range which is located on the west side of Cook inlet. These beautiful animals can weigh hundreds of pounds, some weighing more than 1,000, depending on species and gender. People need to stay a respectable distance from any bear. Alaska Halibut Fishing Charter offers fly-in bear viewing that allows visitors to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat safely.
Types of Bears You Can See
Brown bears and black bears call these places home. Brown bears are most likely to be seen in these areas, but you will see Black Bears among the Brown Bears on big lake around Wolverine creek. These animals typically weigh no more than 600 pounds and live over 20 years in the wild. Brown bears can live up to 25 years in the wild on average and weigh as much as 1,000 pounds.
Best Spots to See Bears
Black and brown bears live in several areas of Alaska, and the best places to view them safely is with a guide on Crescent or Big Lake. Thanks to their affinity for fish, especially salmon, they’re often found near the outlets or inlets that streams flow out or into the lakes. Our expert guides fly to the best spots that offer increased chances for bear viewing.
Best Time of Year to See Bears
Bears typically start hibernating in October and rarely reappear until March or April. The best times to see bears in these places are when the salmon are running up the streams and the salmon start running in the first part of June and stop towards the end of September. Always ask when the best time to view the bears would be before booking your trip.
What Other Wildlife Can You See
You can see abundant wildlife in and near the streams, but mostly otters, seals, beaver, mink, and birds as the bears do not threaten them presents like Moose and Caribou, and enjoy the pleasures that the steams hold. Please respect the boundaries of any wildlife you spot in these places while viewing our awesome State.
