A black bear pauses while munching on dandelions near Eagle Beach on June 17. “This was my first trip to Alaska and I spent the day in Juneau driving around looking at all the beautiful scenery,” writes John Riffey. “I visited Mendenhall Glacier and the ranger told me to take highway 7 up until it ends if I wanted to see bears.
