Glacier Bear, Yakutat, Alaska

More pictures from The Glacier Bear Lodge, where we stayed.


This is a shot of The Glacier Bear's main building from one of the older rooms. Note the lovely rental van ($75 a day).


This one shows part of the second floor looking toward the office.


One thing I didn't say earlier is how we take care of the fish. First we have to catch them, then we bring them back to the lodge's cleaning station and filet them (cut heads & tails off, then filet each side). Depending on how big the fish is, we will cut them in thirds or half. After that, we vacuum pack the filets and place them in fish boxes (up to 50 lbs per box) and fast freeze them in this lovely freezer.


This is the cleaning station.


Here is a shot of the newer section (two story) of the lodges rooms.


This is what our messy room looks like. The rooms are set up for three men (or three people). There are two full sized beds and a roll away cot. The beds are very uncomfortable because they tend to sag toward the side where a single person sleeps. For years, not many women ever went there. Now, we see more and more couples showing up. The new owners of the lodge are trying to upgrade things, but because of the weather during off season, they can't get much done fast.
