Bear encounters in Alaska

Our epic Alaskan adventure features bears, moose, steelhead trout and a northern hawk owl was a great surprise. A float plane afforded us the rare opportunity to get close to the brown bears gorging themselves on sockeye salmon to prepare for the winter.
Tower rock Lodge in the Kenai penninsula is a fantastic outfit for guides if you like salmon fishing, hunting or bear viewing excusions via float plane. My first ever steelhead trout was a fight I'll never forget along with sockeye salmon and rainbow trout. This was a two week adventure that began in Vancouver with a trip to hopefully see orcas and we we pleasantly surprised. This trip was a dream photography opportunity for my wife and I. The Iditarod sled dog adventure was a lot of fun also. These dogs love to run and can't wait to go once they are all hooked up. Unfortunately, the northern lights were obscured by clouds for the three days we spent at Borealis base camp.

Thanks! Sometimes I wonder if it’s putting my audience to sleep.
