Frazer Lake – Falls

If you choose to fly-out and view bears, Frazer Lake will most likely be the destination. Frazer Lake is a 15 minute floatplane flight from the Lodge, and the plane puts you and your guide at the outlet of the Frazer Lake. Here you will find a well traveled trail that leads to the Frazer waterfalls and ADF&G fish pass facility. The ¾ mile walk takes about 20 minutes, and the path is edged by many species of wildflowers. Bears frequent the area – and it is not uncommon to see bear tracks or scat right on the trail.

Mountain Hiking

If you choose to hike up the mountains, you will follow deer or bear trails to reach the 3000-foot summit. The hike begins with thick brush and high grass. The brown bear are keen of hearing and will have vacated this area as soon as human footsteps are heard. Once out of the thick brush you will arrive at a large stand of cottonwood trees on the side of the mountain, and above the cottonwood trees are several benches covered with low grass, brush and trees spaced far enough apart to let you view the bears. As you continue climbing from this point to the top of the mountains, vegetation diminishes until there are only lichens, rocks and snow patches. Bear may be seen on adjacent mountainsides, digging for roots, eating berries or traveling. Several more hours of hiking across the mountaintops, enjoying the breath-taking views and searching for bears, you'll return down the mountain.
