    It is a easy tour that you get in and out of a van. The conservation site was neat. The guide was friendly and silly, which made it better!

    Heather was an exceptional guide. She shared Anchorage history, safety tips, and we had a great time finding goats/Dall sheep along our route. We were able to see so many animals (bears, bison, musk ox, a wolf and moose). Despite the cloudy/rainy day, we got awesome photos and had a great time. She's a bear whisperer. They would come close to her at the fence which resulted in some impressive photos. I'd highly recommend the tour.
