McNeil River State Game Sanctuary

I have had the great pleasure to have visited McNeil River on two occasions. Each provided the experience of a lifetime. The sanctuary is located about 100 miles west of Homer Alaska and during the annual salmon run McNeil River is home to the largest congregations of brown bears in the world. On my first visit there, we counted more than sixty bears in view at one time! There is no way to describe or convey in photographs a spectacle like that.
