Sea lions, first black bear, dead salmon and Mt Sanford (4949m)

Mostly a driving day but first: visiting the Solomon Gulch Salmon Hatchery. Because as you know salmon go back to where they were born after one or several years in the ocean to lay their eggs and die. This hatchery is basically a salmon farm that grows each year for the last 40 years. It’s a good place to view wildlife that comes here to eat salmon. And wildlife I saw!

It also has a heater and a French press and a sky roof. No WiFi. Reaching the end of my 6 week adventure in Canada and Alaska, I wanted to be in nature, offline as much as possible and away from cities and too many people. Mission accomplished. 🤩
