A group of six people filled a quarter-mile wilderness trail in the Tongass National Forest with chatter while walking towards a bear observatory platform. Salmon berries lined the trail, which began at Anan Lagoon, where everyone waded through the water from a small fishing boat to get to the trail. We tried avoiding the bear droppings as bald eagles and gulls swooped down into the rushing Anan Creek for salmon. The thousands of salmon swimming upstream were on a mission to spawn and up the creek, the bears were also hunting for them.
