Bore Tides
An International Phenomenon
They have been described as breaking waves as high as 26 feet, sounding like locomotive trains, foaming and frothing along at speeds between 6 and 24 miles per hour. Tidal bores are anything but BORING. Find out more with the Southcentral Alaska Bore Tide Information and Schedule.

Did You Know?
Both Alaska brown bears, Ursus arctos, and American black bear, Ursus americanus, catch and eat salmon. Rarely do the two species coexist on the same watercourse. Black bears enjoy use of only a few streams; most are dominated by their larger cousins who may kill and eat any of them they catch.
