A wonderful view of Silver Salmon Creek in Lake Clark National Park, set against the backdrop of the Chigmit Mountains. The ecosystem protected within Lake Clark National Park is one of the largest areas in the world where Brown Grizzly bears are protected from hunting. Silver Salmon Creek, which empties into the Cook Inlet, is one of the most accessible places to view these bears up close in the world. This popular summer tourism destination allows the few visitors lucky enough to take excursions from Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula to visit Silver Salmon Creek to see not just one but many of these magnificent creatures, one of the largest land predators in the world, often while fishing for salmon themselves.
