ALASKA BEAR VIEWING
Traitors Cove Bear Viewing Tour
Take a short 20-minute flight over the lush wilderness of the
Tongass National Forest and arrive at Traitors Cove. You’ll be met at the dock
by your personal Alaska bear viewing guide and driven about a quarter mile into
the forest to the Margarite Creek Bear Viewing observatory platform. After a
short, easy walk up to the wildlife viewing platform, you’ll be at a prime
location to see Alaska’s REAL fisherman! Black bears can be seen plunging into
the rushing water to eat wild salmon that are going upstream to spawn. Besides
bears feeding, you’ll also likely see Bald Eagles, as well as the salmon
battling their way upstream. Your naturalist/guide will answer any questions you
have about the local wildlife, flora and fauna.
The U.S. Forest Service restricts access to Margarite
Observatory by permit, so only small numbers of visitors have the opportunity to
visit this incredible site. It’s not to be missed.
