Wildlife in Skagway

This summer was a great year for bears out in Dyea, the area where we work. During the salmon run we saw the same four bears so frequently that they received names; Ned, Rupert, Clyde and Rick James. The majority of these photos are of Ned and Rupert, the two who spent the most time hanging around (and sometime in!) our basecamp. The bridge leading across the stream and into our camp was a popular fishing spot for the bears, and made for some interesting encounters.
