Valley Of The Bears takes place in the stunning North-West coastal valley of Bella Coola, British Columbia. Runs of salmon by the millions bring in a variety of wildlife in a remarkable spectacle, especially the grizzly bear. With one of the highest concentrations of people and bears on the planet, bear encounters occur daily.
