Bears on Fish Creek Hyder, Alaska

You can find more information on Bears of Fish Creek in Issue #65 Photograph America Newsletter.

Fish Creek, a few miles north of Hyder, Alaska, is the prime salmon spawning stream in southeastern Alaska. In August and September, black bears and grizzlies head for Fish Creek to feast on spawning chum and sockeye salmon. To photograph black bears, grizzlies, and bald eagles, plus some of the most dramatically rugged landscapes you’ll ever see, there is no better place to visit than southeastern Alaska. Starting in Seattle, you can drive 900 miles to Hyder, Alaska, on paved roads in less than three days. The landscape photography in Hyder, Alaska, is as exciting as the wildlife photography. The road to the glaciers north of town is even more exciting than the Ice fields Parkway to Jasper in the Canadian Rockies.
