About
Small fly-in camp in Ni'iinlii'njik (Fishing Branch) Territorial Park in northern Yukon, where grizzlies feed on a late chum salmon run kept open by warm springs. From mid-October freezing temperatures leave ice on the bears' coats, the 'ice bears' the camp is known for. Groups of up to four, with photo instruction from guides Phil and Ross Timpany.
