| Keywords: grizzly bears grizzlybears campbell creek campbellcreek far north bicentennial park farnorthbicentennialpark salmon returning salmonreturning anchorage, alaska anchoragealaska I went back down to Far North Bicentennial Park yesterday, walked the short distance to Campbell Creek, and was greeted by this young Grizzly Bear on the rock beach walking right by me. I didn't take Sailor with me, afraid that I was pressing my luck with him along and the bears so close. Then I turned around, looking up-stream, and a much larger Grizzly Bear was coming down the creek looking for Salmon. (I posted that photograph below). In the main photograph, you can see the bear's right foreleg with its very substantial claws! In the beginning of August, the King Salmon return which should really bring out the bears. I have never seen a Summer this active with Grizzly Bears in this area in the 25+ years I've lived here. It's been really exciting. :) I went back down to Far North Bicentennial Park yesterday, walked the short distance to Campbell Creek, and was greeted by this young Grizzly Bear on the rock beach walking right by me.
