Searching for Bears in Alaska Day 1: Lake Clark National Park

My first trip to document ALASKA. Starting in anchorage I took a seaplane to Redoubt Bay lodge in hopes of seeing some brown bears fishing for salmon. This is what its like to stay at the wilderness lodge in Lake Clark National Park.

Would you rather be chased by a swimming bear in a kayak or a running bear on skis?

[@philippjordi9733]

Depends on how steep the slope is :) … but I guess with a kayak, one is faster in deep waters than the bear.

[@georgespencer3973]

Definitely kayak. I’d catch an edge on the skis. Al of the sudden, SNACK TIME!

[@2manysigns]

lol ...... kayak but either sounds exhilarating . Hahahaha

[@ramsesmorales9151]

haha, I am going to go with the swimming bear in a kayak due to the nature of the elements.

[@brianjohnston6132]

lol. Neither! But the kayak if I had to choose one scenario.

[@andreslopez1382]

Beautiful place Alice great to hear you had a great time :)

[@jasoncombs7545]

Blueberries nor raspberries try to swim or wiggle away when you try to eat them. Animals are smarter than people often give them credit for. Desert island and only one food to take: blueberries. As much as I love the topography, I can't help but look up at the big, beautiful, blue sky. On the beach, in the mountains, or sitting on my back porch, on a sunny day it's just...right...there. Sometimes, it's all I need. Wish I was on this adventure with you, Alice. I'll get there someday.

[@antonylund241]

This was so amazing to watch ! You're so skilled with a camera. Thank you so much for bringing these amazing places to my living room, as I can't attend myself ! .....and braving bears ( Whoa )

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thank you so much.

[@stevesalter1138]

Ok, so much to say. Firstly, I just got back from Alaska. I learned the bears are where the salmon are running. Obvious, right. If the water is visibly full of salmon there will be bears EVERYWHERE! I went to Grosvenor Lodge during the salmon run and saw an uncountable amount of bears. They were everywhere. I also went to Brooks Falls to watch that spectacular view. Anyway, Grosvenor Lodge in July won’t disappoint for bears. Plus the fishing is world class.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks Steve that is so awesome. I was in Alaska end of August on this trip so most of the bears were high in the hills but it was still beautiful

[@johnnymac8680]

That was an amazing Alaskan adventure, Alice. You must go back there soon. I laughed when you mentioned that bears prefer berries to fish. We have had no bears in Ireland for about 8,000 years. A few weeks ago I was foraging for blackberries on the lower slopes of Divis Mountain near Belfast. Engrossed in the task of collecting the berries I didn't notice a brown hairy pig coming down the field to say hello. I fed him some of my berries which pleased him so much. I have made a friend there!

[@AliceFordAdventures]

I will be back next summer for sure. I love that you made a pig friend how wonderful.

[@ourlifeinparadise515]

Glad I found your channel.love it.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

[@CultureTrekking]

You're so cute, and that place is gorgeous! Chased by a bear in a Kayak, because I feel like he would get distracted by Salmon, lol - also I'm very uncoordinated on skis, lol

I didn’t either

[@raymundperalta419]

Very nice place I love it

[@differentfins]

That muskeg is epic! My favorite part of the video was, believe it or not, seeing the ducks earlier right after the shot of the loons. The water is so clear you could see how their webbed feet work while paddling along the water. Cheers!

[@AliceFordAdventures]

The water is so smooth and clear, glad you enjoyed the ducks :)

Your so good at vlog

[@brianjohnston6132]

Awesome! I just got back from Alaska myself. I saw 3 national parks. Denali, Kenai Fjords, and Wrangell St.- Elias. Wrangell was my favorite. The hik eup Root Glacier is incredible. Saw moose, elk, and porcupines, but no bears sightings though. :(

[@AliceFordAdventures]

That’s awesome. I was hoping to get out to Kenai Fjords but n adding it to my trip for next years. I also saw bears on my last day and that video will be out in a few weeks :)

Alice, I can’t ski so a kayak lol. Awesome video also! 😍…

I laughed at your leap into the muskeg - I thought you might disappear from sight (never been on it myself). But great video and views.

Hahah luckily that didn’t happen

[@christophercrews1380]

I just went on the Highline trail in Glacier NP. I didn’t see any bears either. But it was breathtaking anyway.

I want to do that next year

@@AliceFordAdventures Make your reservations soon. I made a reservation in March and all they had was a nine person KOA in August.

[@johnalden5821]

So beautiful -- I really want to go to Alaska now for sure. I am wondering how far in advance you need to book a room at the lodge.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

I booked a few days but I would say in high season you’ll need to book as far in advance as possible. I dare say they are probably already mostly full for next summer

[@farhadmovahedi4884]

[@phillipseaton7163]

Beautiful isn't it. Sorry i missed premier couldn't be helped. Have a great time till the next video.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thank you

[@ramsesmorales9151]

Hi Alice, What a video! the views were outstanding and the lodge looks very comforting indeed. I would say it has a very typical architecture and design-build for the surroundings. Glad you got to explore up there. How much did it cost to stay overnight at the Redoubt Bay Lodge? and how much was the flight to get there? Sorry, you couldn't get to see the bear, I know the feeling. I still think everything else you got to see outweighs the fact that you didn't get to see the bear haha. Lastly, glad to see some of your merchandise out! Thanks.

[@ramsesmorales9151]

On a separate note, I was watching some weather news and they were saying that there is a wildfire engulfing portions of Sequoia National Park, in California and has burned over 50 000 acres nearly over this past week and that firefighters have been working really hard to counteract the blaze. I was wondering if the smoke has reached the Los Angeles area? I know is about 226 miles away. So I figured with some winds the smoke could reach there in some time. Please keep me posted if you know anything about it. Feeling concerned about the situation. Thanks!

[@AliceFordAdventures]

No smoke in LA yet but yes the fires are very alarming and not being stopped. They wrapped the sequoias with fire blankets in hopes of protecting them longer.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thank you. This lodge isn’t cheap. It’s $750 to fly there for the day tours and around $1600 for one night which includes airfare and all your guides and activities while there.

[@terrybessler5570]

We have 13 NP's to go, including 6 left in AK. Who did you use to fly into the Park? Were they also your guide or a different company?

[@AliceFordAdventures]

I used Pack creek outfitters who also provided the guide

[@KeithHoltupthepeak]

Sorry you didn't see any bears (at least as of this video) It was still a delightful video.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thank you. Bears to come I saw 4 my last day in Alaska. That video will be out in a few weeks

[@katherinebailey4004]

Alice - what time of year were you at Redoubt Bay? Thanks!

[@AliceFordAdventures]

End of August. July is a better month for bears

[@katherinebailey4004]

Thanks for the advice!!

[@derbagger22]

I feel like I've been shadowing you since I found your channel earlier this year. Being out in Colorado and Utah in May and I was only feet from where you opened your video in Anchorage. That was my last stop to take pics on a two week Hawaii/Alaska vacation...

[@AliceFordAdventures]

I guess us wilderness lovers have similar taste. I hope you had some great trips too

[@derbagger22]

[@BriJo91]

Magical!!! Thanks for sharing. Just a quick question. I know you are quite passionate about wildlife conservation and environmentalism. I notice you eat meat and talk about fishing. Are you or have you considered going vegan and why or why not? Thanks again for your time and thoughts.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thank you, I actually do not eat meat and try to limit seafood but when I do eat it make sure it’s from a sustainable source. I eat an 80% plant based diet though and always make sure I know where my food comes from before I eat it.

[@BriJo91]

@@AliceFordAdventures Thank you for the transparency. Have you seen sea-spiracy? It seems that the whole sustainable label is oftentimes very misleading and your best option is to just avoid animal products all together. I have been vegan for 10 years but I actually agree with you that sometimes you just have to do what's the easiest and most beneficial to your well-being. I think as long as we are all trying our best and not being dishonest with ourselves, then that's all that matters. I don't believe there's any excuse for people to not be informed if they have access to the internet these days. There are so many good documentaries on Netflix and great blogs and sanctuaries to follow on KZbin. Obviously being vegan and living ethically is about a lot more than just food and I don't think people always understand that. I really see you as an inspiration and I appreciate everything you are doing to try and make the world a better place but also giving people Earth friendly options to enjoy their time on this planet.
