When we use the grizzly bear viewing stands on Knight Inlet’s Glendale River after August 24th there are number on approaches to the salmon pools. Grizzlies on their own tend to take the direct approach and walk boldly into the area and see who/what else may be at the pools feeding. On their own they are able to make a quick retreat if bigger bears are dominating the area. Tomorrows post shows a mother’s caution…
If you book the extra day in camp we take a forty-five minute boat tour across Knight Inlet through Thompson Sound to the Kakweikan River where spend a day with Trapper Rick. This river is located on the BC mainland where we travel by road to Rick’s cabin. The first photo is the view from the deck of the cabin down the river overlooking the falls. The second photo is from below the falls back toward the cabin. On the left of this picture is the fish ladder built to assist the salmon around the falls that they had been jumping over for thousands of years. (Never question a government when it has money to spend.) The area below the falls is good for grizzly bear viewing, as it is one of their main fishing spots. We tend to sit on the deck and wait for the bears to appear and also hike to the lower pool another popular feeding area.
