Raffle Tickets Available To Score McNeil River Bear Viewing Opportunity

Some of Alaska’s, if not the world’s, best bear viewing opportunities are in McNeil River State Game Sanctuary. Drawing a permit to be a part of the scene can be difficult with such a high demand for it, so there’s a great chance to win one.
