From 4000ft in the mountains, Pack Creek flows down Admiralty Island’s east side before spilling into Seymour Canal. The extensive tide flats at the mouth of the creek draw a large number of bears to feed on salmon, making the spot a favorite for observing and photographing the animals.
Within this area is Stan Price State Wildlife Sanctuary, named for an Alaskan woodsman who lived on a float house here for almost 40 years. The sanctuary includes an area that has been closed to hunting since the mid-1930s, and due largely to the former presence of Price and his visitors, the bears here have become used to humans. The bears are most abundant in July and August, when the salmon are running.
