When we came down from the trail to Exit Glacier, we stopped to read the sign at the trail head. I want to point out that it mentions that if a brown bear attacks, play dead unless it begins to eat you...then go ahead and fight back.
On our way back from Exit Glacier, we noticed that a number of cars were pulled over near a bridge about a half-mile from town.
We got out of the car and saw a mother brown bear with two cubs. As she strolled along the river, she reached in and pulled out a fish for the cubs to eat. We had an exciting evening which was capped with a trip to the creamery where we learned that Alaskans consume more ice cream per capita than any other state population in the U.S. (we were just trying to make our bear-sighting that much more authentically Alaskan)
