Love going to Anan! The new cabin is beautiful and so well taken care of. The staff at the Observatory is so helpful and full of knowledge. I love that there is so much wildlife to appreciate at Anan. During our time there we saw so many black bears, brown bears, bald eagles, harbor seals, humpback whales, ravens, mink, and many salmon. Such a special place!

What a stunning experience! Nonstop bear action, mostly black bears , a few brown bears, sows with cubs, calm bears, grumpy bears, picky bears, shy bears. Keep your head on a swivel bears everywhere the scene changes every minute. Beautiful cabin, room for many guests. Large stainless kitchen counter. We heard a trickling stream not far from the cabin under the boardwalk but did not need any water. We recommend getting it for two days if possible if you really like bears. Something new every day. The trail from the cabin to the falls/ viewing platform is board walk and gravel, very easy walking. The reservation reserves the permit(4), you still have to purchase them at the trailhead, bring your credit card. The three level viewing platform is great, mostly covered and restrooms. Lots of leftover fuel canisters and water left at the cabin by other users. We'd definitely do it again and again!!!!

Excellent. One of the most memorable stays in Alaskan wilderness. Very pristine and untouched land; Bear viewing was amazing too, Its a different feeling when you know that you are part of their natural habitat.
