[b]Bear Watch Info (for interested people):[/b]

[url="http://www.alaskabearviewing.com/pricing/"][b]http://www.alaskabearviewing.com/pricing/[/b][/url] I found this to be the closest one from Seward area (around 3 hrs drive)...There are 10s and 1000s of bears in Alaska but famous spots to watch big brown bears are in Kenai Peninsula & Katmai National Park and the biggest ones are Kodiak bears (rise up to 11-12 feet tall when they stand on hind legs) which are found in Kodiak island.

Homer lo it is recommend to go for 7 hour trip ($650/person) compared to the 4 hour trip ($550/person) as you will lose 2 hours in to & fro flights...so for $100 extra you get to watch them closely for 3 more hours!

Close ante bus lo kadu bhayyo....10 feet distance to 50 ft distance ninchi!

Idi vaddu expensive anukunte inka other option is in Denali when you take the shuttle bus in to the park...akkada konni mid-size grizzly bears kanipistayi depending on your luck...we got to see 4 from a reasonable distance.

July is the best time you can watch bears near Katmai where they congregate near water bodies to eat Salmon (Salmon breeding season) Like this

Chala mandi used to prefer cruise ships starting from Seattle....I guess you get to see glaciers, some wildlife etc on this but ide nenu cheppina Seward cruise lo vuntadi...it wont disappoint you....evaraina Seattle, Juneau side cruise tisukunna vallu vunte ikkada update cheyyandi...want to know how you felt and Juneau side Glacier national park okati vundi

otherwise Juneau evadu dekhadu anta...always raining like Seattle and no road access...you have to either fly in there or by ferry.
