Anan Bear and Wildlife Observatory - a natural adventure in bear viewing!  Travel by covered, heated boats the thirty-five miles to Anan via Eastern Passage, a beautiful boat ride in protected waters between Wrangell Island and the Mainland. Arriving at Anan you will offload at the trailhead and be greeted by US Forest Service personnel, who will provide a brief orientation.  

Beginning in late June , Salmon arrive at Anan creek to spawn. At this time, Anan creek is teaming with salmon which naturally attracts Brown and Black Bears, Bald Eagles and Harbor Seals. Your guide will interpret local flora and fauna.  Every day is different, we are in nature and things happen in a natural way. The walk in to the Observatory takes about 20 minutes over rustic trail of approximately 5/8ths mile in length.
