Bears and Salmons.

The salmon migration is one of nature's most exciting dramas. After spawning, all Pacific salmon die, and the salmon life cycle starts over again. The annual run is a major event for brown bear and salmons are an important food source they will need during the months of winter in its den. It is crucial that brown bears must eat enough to store huge amounts of fat needed to sustain it. This migration period is highly recommended for bear watching because bears focus on the shores of lakes and rivers. Bears might be dangerous and protection by an armed guide is necessary for your safety.
