Unbelievable! Add this to your bucket list! We put ourselves in Trent’s hands, and were not disappointed. The absolute highlight of our entire 2-week trip to Alaska. When the weather didn’t cooperate for Plan A to Katmai, Trent proposed & we agreed to Plan B, Crescent Lake. This tiny portion of Lake Clarke NP gave us captivating & up close (20-30 yards on a pontoon boat) views of bears fishing & eating salmon. The highlight was a family of 4 brown bears, mother & triplet 2-year old bears. We saw them swimming, playing, growling over salmon, climbing into empty boats, and generally at home on the shore. We learned a great deal about the location, salmon, brown bears, and living in the moment. All in a setting that can only be described as heavenly: turquoise water, lush green forests, snow-topped mountain (Redoubt), sockeye salmon slowly coming to their life’s end after spawning, brown bears actively in & out of the water, a juevenile bald eagle perched & watchful. A stunning show of nature & the right time to visit the right place. Do not hesitate! Book this now!
