Float Planes and BEARS

Yesterday we took a float plane to Katmai National Park...One of only two ways to get to that national park.  There are NO roads into it.  We wanted to see Brown Bears/Grizzlies up close at the Brooks Falls and WE DID!!!!!!  WOW

We saw Mt McKinley/Denali again....from the air.

Ed & Carol Happy...Happy...Happy and some of the float planes on the beach at Brooks Camp.
And Now for pictures of the bears!

When we got out to the viewing area we had to wait to get on the platform and then we only were allowed one hour to stay on the platform viewing the bears.   At one time I saw seven bears catching or trying to catch salmon.  They have a pecking order and one bear in one of the pictures you can see a couple of them growling at each other for position.  A few of the smaller ones knew to stay away from the really big ones.  Even a female tried to get close to the falls and got chased away.  WOW what a day!
