## Itinerary

### Day 1: Seattle, Washington
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 03:00 PM

Bounded by the Puget Sound to the west and Lake Washington to the east, and surrounded by forests and mountains, Seattle, Washington boasts a stunning location.

This unique subspecies named for the Kodiak Archipelago where they are found evolved in isolation for around 12,000 years and can reach heights of 3 meters, or 10 feet, when standing on their hind legs. One of the worldâs largest carnivores, the bears have a diet that goes far beyond meat (they can sleep for up to eight months, then wake up ravenous to feast predominantly on grass, plants, berries and fish). About 3,500 live on this tiny island, meani...

### Day 11: Ketchikan
**Arrives:** 11:00 AM · **Departs:** 07:00 PM
