wha,

In the woods we had to hike through to get to the glacier--they said there "might' be some bears in the vicinity....and you are supposed to talk and make noises of some kind.....so they know there are people around and then they stay away. Most wildlife like that does not just attack, but you need to be respectful that it is THEIR territory--and YOU are the intruder....

I was in AK 3 weeks. My sister lives there....Never saw a bear--and never saw a "real" Moose....and if you "might" see a moose--they are the youngsters from the year before that have been abandoned by their Moms as they are having new young. These yearling moose--big as horses--often can be seen near the town, walking through people's gardens and parking lots and crossing roads....a real traffic hazard!

AK is spectacular--especially anything around the Kenai Peninsula. Homer--and it's 5 mile Spit--has become THE tourist mecca....That's where my sister lives....The surrounding area and the many side-trips available--make this area a "must"....

...They even have a beach!
