点评:We chartered an independent flight to Pack Creek with Ward Air and purchased our permits online from the park service. The Information for both were available on the Park Service website linked to the description here.
The pilot flew us to the drop off point, where we exited the float plane and waded ashore - about 25ft in shallow water (below knee depth) - easy walking across stones. I just unzipped the lower half of my hiking pants and went in water shoes. Ashore I zipped the legs back on, dried my feet and put on socks & hikers. Good thing too as there were a few mossies (not bad but who wants to get bit?). We got a brief from the state ranger, stood around chatting with her, cached out stuff in the bear safe, and headed out for the observation tower following her direction.
The trail crossed the beach and a small stream before entering the woods. It required climbing some slippery areas, so not suitable for mobility challenged.
The forest was very cool - pure, quiet, fresh smells, peaceful.
Returning to the beach we then went to the 2nd viewing area along the shoreline. There we sat on some large felled trees and hung out with the second ranger for several hours. There was a family with young children already there. They left and were replaced by a guided group whom we’d seen in the Ward Air terminal. They were dropped off somewhere else and had kayaked before coming to Pack Creek. They had an excellent guide, who kindly included us in her commentary.
Eventually we saw 1 bear who we watched via binoculars and spotting scope. The ranger said when he got there in the morning (about 9) he saw several bears but they were probably sleeping as the previous nights tides had been low and there was

飞行员将我们送到下车点,我们在那里下了水上飞机,涉水上岸——浅水区(低于膝盖深度)约 25 英尺——轻松走过石头。我只需解开登山裤下半部分的拉链,穿上水鞋即可。上岸后,我重新拉上裤腿拉链,擦干脚,穿上袜子和登山鞋。这也是一件好事,因为那里有几只蚊子(不坏,但谁想被咬呢?)。我们从州护林员那里得到了一份简报,站在那里和她聊天,把东西藏在熊保险箱里,然后按照她的指示前往观景塔。
这条小路穿过海滩和一条小溪,然后进入树林。它需要攀爬一些湿滑的区域,因此不适合行动不便的人。
森林非常凉爽——纯净、安静、气味清新、宁静。
回到海滩后,我们去了海岸线上的第二个观景区。在那里,我们坐在一些砍伐的大树上,与第二位护林员一起闲逛了几个小时。那里已经有一家带着小孩的家庭了。他们离开了,由我们在沃德航空航站楼见过的导游团代替。他们被送到了其他地方,在来 Pack Creek 之前划了皮划艇。他们有一位出色的导游,她好心地把我们也包括在她的评论中。
最后我们看到了一只熊,我们用双筒望远镜和瞄准镜观察了它。护林员说,当他早上(大约 9 点)到达那里时,他看到了几只熊,但它们可能在睡觉,因为前几晚的潮水很低,而且
