Brown bears and black bears are prominent in Tongass. If we come across a bear, which is likely, and act scared, the bear will try to attack us. So to stay safe if you run into a black or brown bear be calm and don't make eye contact or noise. Also, Grizzly bears are omnivores. There are Kodiak bears in Alaska, they are the largest bears in the world. They can grow to over 1000 pounds. Overall in Alaska there are 30,000 bears, which is 95% of the bear population in the United States..

We would not want to go in January. This is because January is the coldest month with an average high of 27 degrees and a low of 17 degrees. It also has a lot of rain at 5 inches. There's only 6-7 hours of sunlight. Animals would also be in hibernation and the cold temperatures would make survival more difficult.

# data[].attributes.body
We would choose to go in July. We would go then because July has an average daytime high of 50-62 degrees. It's also warmer at night between 32-40 degrees. In July the lakes aren't frozen over and the animals aren't in hibernation. There is also 18 hours of sunlight in summer Which provides safer travel and more readily available food.

Specific Drop-Off Location

# data[].attributes.body
Tongass, Alaska is the largest National Forest in The United States at 17 million acres.  The area was designated in 1902, by Theodore Roosevelt.

# data[].attributes.body
A temperate rain forest is a biome that has between 60-200 inches of rain each year. It's different from a regular rain forest because it has seasons, with summer high of 60-80 degrees. In a standard rain forest there is always vegetation, but in a temperate rain forest, like Tongass in the winter the plants die.  See below for a map of the temperate rainforest biome locations. Temperate Rain Forest is one of the rarest biomes.
