Brown bear cub, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
So this is huge, exciting news! Time Magazine is doing a short story on photo tours in the upcoming June 20th issue, and my Alaska Bear and Puffin tour is one of the featured tours – in fact, it is the only North American photo tour mentioned in the article! You can’t buy that kind of awesome publicity! Here is a link to at least part of the article: Time Magazine photo tour story.
All of my photo tours for 2011 are sold out, and although we haven’t put it on our website yet, we only have 3 spots left for the 2012 bear tour. Last night, we updated our bear tour page with the dates and pricing for 2012 – I wanted to share it here first because I have a feeling that when the 3 and a half million subscribers to Time Magazine read about it on June 20th we just might find 3 people to sign up for the last spots. It seems like a long ways off, but there is a lot of interest in this amazing tour, and very few openings during what I believe is the perfect timing.

Thanks guys!
Nice! Looks like you might need to open up another tour.
Congrats Ron! I’m glad to say I went on the first one, because the rest might be sold out for good. 🙂
Well deserved, I am sure!
Congratulations! That’s definitely a magical tour.

Thanks so much!
Matt – I think you might be right – looking into it.
Richard I’m glad you did too, it was a great time!
Wow, Way to go, Ron. Had you known about this at all in advance, i.e., had a reporter called, or was this a complete out of left field surprise. Either way, it’s awesome publicity.
Congratulations, Ron. I’m so tempted but it starts only a few days after I get back from being away for weeks. Hope you keep offering it in future years.
Be quick and correct a typo before 3.5 million people read it! In the ‘About Ron’ paragraph it should be family’s and not families.
That’s fantastic for you! Congratulations. 🙂

Thanks a lot!
@ Gary Had no idea until a reporter called out of the blue about a month ago with some questions.
@ Kathleen Thanks for the correction – just fixed it.
Jeez, next thing you know you will be hosting “Celebrity Bear and Puffin Tours.” 🙂
This is really great! I have your photo of Keet at Aialik glacier and another of the running puffin in Aialik Bay on my walls here in Wash. I miss both those places and can’t wait to see the Time mag. Congrats!
This sounds good Ron, I’m glad I’m one of the lucky one that we be out there with you this August. Can’t wait to get up there.
