Fortress of the Bear - Our tour guide Pam was wonderful and knowledgeable about the area--flora, fauna, and history. Fortress of the Bear wasn't quite what we expected but we did see bears who have been rehomed. Loved seeing all the different totems.

Very mediocre excursion - Very commercial,
The guide Jamsyn presented it enthusiastically
Bear Fort is like a mini zoo
with a number of fat-fed bears
The Salmon River was worth it.
Sitka in itself is nice and interesting
historical place
