The Bella Coola Valley is one of the best places to view grizzly bears in the world. Watching a bear foraging in the wild is a truly unforgettable experience. Here in the Great Bear Rainforest bearviewing opportunities are best when the salmon are running in the rivers which brings in both the black bears and grizzlies that inhabit the region. This imagine shows the beauty as we drift along the Atnarko River looking for bears (none in this photo) and enjoy the peaceful zen of the forest. Truly an incredible experience that we will never forget.
