3 Day Alaska Tour





While Matthew was in town we took him to our tourist trap (Portage Glacier) and then to the wildlife sanctuary near Portage. I had never been to the sanctuary so I was a little skeptical. At $7.50 a person I wasn't too confident that we would see any of the "good" animals but the lady at the gate told us we shouldn't have a problem. The day was gorgeous - sunny and around 40 degrees so we decided to give it a shot. First we saw moose, musk ox, deer, caribou and then the brown bears. The two of them were out and about playing with each other right in front of us. One of the bears did a back flip into the snow and rolled around with his feet in the air. It was almost like they were trained to do tricks for the crowd. Yes, that is a real bear! Well worth the $7.50!

Those glasses were mine - he couldn't see because of the glare of the sun on the snow!
