Alaskan brown bears, a common scene in Yakutat. They are often observed on the roads and in and around the FAA housing, and airport area, and are a daily occurrence in the summer months. This is one of the few roads in Yakutat. This area runs between the local garbage dump and Mapes intersection (located behind the bears).

This very old hanger sits on the airport ramp. The old FSS building is located to the left of the hanger, out of the photo. Locals keep their airplanes tightly packed in this hanger during the winter months because wet heavy snowfall can accumulate on aircraft wings so quickly that wings can snap off in a matter of a few hours.
