5.00Oh my goodness!! “All you can expect and more!” Is how I’d describe this trip!! Lauren is so sweet and knows where to find the bears! She took us into the wilderness, which was not too far of a drive!! She led us into a safe area where we didn’t have to walk too far to see what the Alaska Wild has to offer!! Bears, bears and more bears..baby bears, teenage bears frolicking in the stream and Daddy bears watching the cubs from the tall trees!! Wow!! This trip was spectacular! I highly recommend Lauren as she has been an outdoor guide and knows the ins and outs of being in the wild!! I felt super safe and I now have a new awareness for the unique Alaskan Wildlife!! Thank you Lauren!!
