So id you do only photography? I see they do a lot of fishing which I don’t do. If I went it would just be me by myself. Do they take you out for early morning sunrise and sunset light? I was looking at a lady who does bear trips and that is where she stays, it I’m wondering if I really need her or if I can go on my own and get the same thing. Her trip is $6500 and we would be there for 4 nights. It looks like I could do 5 or 6 nights for the same price with out her. If I’m going all the way to Alaska I might as well stay longer! I’m also looking into where to go to see other wildlife before or after. Eagles and moose would be nice! Thanks Beth...Show more →
Fishing is optional at Silver Salmon Creek Lodge, and very few people fished when I was there. Another lodge was close by but I do not recall the name. Yes, you can go on your own. The lodge is popular with photo tours of small groups, but my wife and I (and others) traveled on our own. The guides assemble groups of 6 people max, and take you out 2-3 times daily. The bears are acclimated to this number of humans, and tend to ignore us (thank goodness). Keep in mind that "morning" is relative in Alaska as it will be daylight at 4:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. SSCL is not ideal for Moose, but we did see Eagles. I cannot speak to the cost but $6,500 sounds like the same price range. This would include meals, guide, and the bush pilot flights to/from. It is an awesome experience. Hope this helps.
