August 11, 2013 - Wrangell - Dante's Trip to Anan Bear Observatory U S Forest Service.

The Anan Bear Observatory was built by the US Forest Service for the public to observe wildlife during one of the largest Pink Salmon runs in South East Alaska. Black Bears, Brown Bears, Bald Eagles, Sea Lions and a variety of small mammals and birds feast on the spawning salmon.  It can only be reached by boat or float plane and located about 30 miles from Wrangell.

Dante took some incredible photographs while visiting there.
