People come to Alaska to experience the wild and see wild animals.
Wild things are here, but they're seasonal. A grizzly bear does some salmon fishing on a remote beach a few miles from Elfin Cove, Alaska. Brown bears have a shoulder hump, straight claws and sometimes a concave face - and they're massive, up to 1,500 pounds. The place to see brown bears is Pack Creek at the Stan Price State Wildlife Sanctuary on Admiralty Island . One of the best places to see black bears is Anan Creek Wildlife Viewing Area, accessible by boat or floatplane from Wrangell.
