I would also like to know if there are any places near ANC where I can drive to see bears in the wild and if there are any tour companies locally based in BRW. The reason I ask is that I have been only able to find tour companies that operate day trips from ANC and FAI to BRW. Is it easy to get around in BRW without a car?
Well for bears in ANC... they are all over. Was walking to my friends house two days ago and there was one in the area - some folks around me said they just saw one go in the woods, but I kept walking anyway

But bears and moose are all around. And be sure to let us know when visiting

Have not been to BRW myself yet but FTer maokh seems to be our BRW expert
