The only drive-to-bear viewing tour in Ketchikan takes you on adventure of a lifetime, as you view black bears in a private reserve. Your guide leads you along a trail through the heart of the rainforest. Here, large concentrations of black bear gather to feed on the huge runs of spawning Pacific salmon in the stream running through the reserve. Bald eagles wait for scraps, mink and marten frequent the area, and seals can usually be seen feeding on the bountiful fish harvest. Your search for wildlife takes over an elaborate elevated boardwalk system, viewing platforms overlooking the creek and off-the-beaten-track areas. Although wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, keep your camera ready for a myriad of photo opportunities. At the trail's end, you'll see a master carver at work, tour a historic sawmill and explore the on-site totem park.
