Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

Early one morning, while staying with a friend in Skagway Alaska, I was woken by some noise outside the cabin. I got up and looked out the window to see a Black Bear in the fish bucket. I woke my friend and grabbed a camera to head outside for a photo. By the time I made it outside I was surprised to see she was a mama bear with two cubs, one brown and one white. White bears are very rare and also known as Spirit Bears or as Kermode Bears. It?s also quite rare for a Black Bear to have both a brown and a white cub. The three of them hung out for about an hour before heading on there way, leaving us with a memory of a lifetime.
