Anan Creek, south of Wrangell, puts on quite a show in July and August with one of the largest salmon runs in Southeast Alaska. Naturally, the bears show up, too. Next to a series of small waterfalls, the U.S. Forest Service has built an elegant observation platform and blind accessible  via a short and beautiful hike through the rainforest. The USFS carefully controls access and Dolphin Charters acquires its permits for Anan more than a year in advance. Once a Tlingit fish camp, Anan has been attracting tourists for about a hundred years.
