Bear viewing for all…Brooks Camp is for everyone

Today Tom flew a family of four into Brooks Camp for a bear-viewing trip—a pretty normal flight for July. The young couple was on their honeymoon, but the twist was that the groom’s parents were along, and both were in wheelchairs. We questioned the logistics of taking two wheelchair bound folks in a floatplane, but Brooks Camp rangers said the trails were accessible, and the passengers had such positive attitudes, we gave it a go. It was the best bear-viewing day of the summer at Brooks Camp, and everyone had a great time. The whole family inspired us with their bravery and enthusiasm for adventure.
