ANAN

The Anan Wildlife Observatory is world renowned for its extraordinary bear viewing. Home to one of Alaska's largest pink salmon runs, Anan attracts a significant number of bears- both brown and black- as well as eagles, seals, and other wildlife that feast on salmon. A day trip to Anan from nearby Wrangell, Alaska, (where Brenda Schwartz is from) is one of the best ways to see the bears at Anan. The original watercolor is painted on the chart that shows the whole island of Wrangell.
