Bear viewing

Depending upon the time of year, the behaviour you witness will vary significantly. In the spring, grizzlies spend time in the estuary feeding on grasses and sedges, while in the summer they can more often be found gorging on berry patches, grazing on grasslands and scouting for early salmon. Autumn sees a move to the river, where they congregate in anticipation of the Pacific salmon that spawns here.
