We Saw a Bear!

This little black bear stopped traffic on the road near the visitor center at Portage Glacier. Black bears can be dangerous, so we photographed him from a safe distance away.

Portage is about 40 miles south of Anchorage. The visitor center offers more spectacular Alaska scenery.



And an iceberg. Okay, maybe not a Titanic-sized iceberg, but an iceberg nonetheless.



We also make a short hike to Byron Glacier.





Some of us are more Alaskan than others. Not mentioning any names.

  1. Oh, a bear! That is so very cool. (Especially since it was close enough for a picture, but not close enough for you to be lunch ...)

    I am so happy you are sharing these pictures, I'm having a great time!
