The Alaskan coastal brown bears of Lake Clark National Park provide amazing viewing up close on the uncrowded shoreline of the Cook Inlet. They are usually grazing on sedges, searching for clams, or fishing for salmon...but, from time to time they seem to relax and enjoy a leisurely bath in the waters from the sea.
