Things to do: Count the bears
Thursday, June 15th, 2006 by GetawayBC.com
Count how many bears you can see in one day. From mid May to early June, berries flourish on the side of the Nisga’a highway. And where there’s berries, there’s bears. Black bears are most common but sometimes, visitors can see brown bears, grizzlies and even Kermodes. The white spirit bears are rare, however.
Head west on Hwy 16 and turn right on Kalum Lake Rd. Drive along the highway and keep your eyes peeled to the side of the road. Be very careful, though. Do not get out of your car and at no time, try to feed the bears. Take photos from your car.
