Brilliant! The volunteers are the stars, supported by the Black Bears!
Thornton Creek Hatchery的点评
点评:We visited on the morning of 17th September, 2024. The long track takes you down to the hatchery - with limited parking. Take heed, you could be parking mere metres from the bears! Their website offers good advice - so read it!
Access to the viewing area is very easy - a short walk from car parking.
Initially, it seemed quite quiet, and there were no Salmon in the river at all. After speaking with one of the volunteers, they said the tide may influence Salmon upstream, so we debated returning later that day.
1 minute later, the first bear ambled down the stream and across the hillside towards the river bridge.
It was a great morning! We saw about 3 Black Bears and learnt a lot about the hatcheries valiant efforts.
Its FREE - but we left a large donation, as these guys are doing sterling work!
Well worth the visit - but remember there are no guarantees bears will appear... enjoy the place anyway ;-)

翻译:我们于 2024 年 9 月 17 日上午参观了这里。长长的路会带您到达孵化场 - 停车位有限。请注意,您可能将车停在距离熊仅几米的地方!他们的网站提供了很好的建议 - 所以请阅读它!
进入观景区非常方便 - 从停车场步行一小段路即可到达。
起初,它似乎很安静,河里根本没有鲑鱼。在与其中一名志愿者交谈后,他们说潮汐可能会影响上游的鲑鱼,所以我们讨论当天晚些时候再来。
一分钟后,第一只熊沿着溪流漫步,穿过山坡,朝着河桥走去。
这是一个美好的早晨!我们看到了大约 3 只黑熊,并了解了很多关于孵化场英勇努力的信息。
它是免费的 - 但我们留下了一大笔捐款,因为这些家伙正在做着出色的工作!
非常值得一游 - 但请记住,不能保证一定会看到熊...无论如何,请尽情享受这个地方 ;-)
所有照片均于早上从观景区/走道拍摄。
