A stay at the Kodiak Brown Bear Lodge is truly an incredible experience. To be able to watch the bears at such a close distance, and to see all the range of behaviors - fish (snorkelfishing anyone?!), nurse, fight, play fight, and just do all that they do as wild bears - is an unparalleled experience. Thank you to Nick, CJ, Chad, Bryant and Kimi for their hospitality and also for sharing the own personal experiences. Learning about the Alutiiq heritage was also a wonderful bonus.
