Holly N. was very knowledgeable about where to look for Dall sheep on our first stop that by the end I was able to identify 11 with my binoculars! Along the way she was able to answer every question we posed to her, including questions that required physics knowledge. I nearly lost my mind when I learned there were wolves at the Wildlife Conservation Center- what an incredible experience! It was a banner day, weather-wise and we were the first day of the season cruising on Portage Lake, breaking ice as we edged toward Byron glacier. The tour couldn’t have gone better. Thank you Holly!

Perfect weather with 2 Moose in the wild sightings. Two Dalh Sheep low enough on mountain to get a good view. One Eagle perched in a tree top next to the road with a 2nd one in a nearby nest. Wilderness Wildlife Sanctuary had a huge variety of Alaska’s Black and Brown Bears, Bison, Musk Ox, Caribou, Reindeer, Moose, and Wolves.

Juls was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, topography, and history of the area. She was conscientious of respect for the wildlife we did see. There was a bald eagle’s nest that she shared with us but was mindful of keeping a distance so as not to disturb the nest and the bird family. Very impressive.
