Bears at Solmon Gulch

WOW!! We saw 9 -10 grizzly bears in less than an hour. It was amazing! Six of them were this year's babies. One was a young male and the other 2 were female. We had heard about the mom with 4 cubs from another camper in Palmer, so we went to have a look. We just missed them at 8:30, but were told they would probably be back. While we waited we saw the small male. He came across the road right above where we were parked. He got scared, ran back, then later tried again. We were giving up and leaving when we saw a bunch of people standing on cars taking pictures. She had gone a different way and was already down on the beach with babies. She would catch a pink salmon and share with babies. It was actually getting darker. We are in Valdez and it is rainy. I tried to post a video but it didn't work. We will try to get better pictures today!
