Shelley and bear paw print in Alaska

Shelley Gill and Bears

Bear country is wild country. Alaska is the only state where you can find three species of bears: milk chocolate grizzly bears, licorice black bears and vanilla polar bears. Seriously, I’ve spent a lot of time with bears in my life because I love the wilderness and they're part of truly wild country. There's a special taste, a special awareness when you share the land with bears.
