Vast, largely untouched and with a short travelling period, North America is known for its rugged beauty – and for providing ample opportunities to spot brown and black bears in remote wilderness!

If you are planning to venture to Alaska or Canada this summer, World Expeditions now offers an extensive range of trips across the continent, from Denali National Park in the west to Prince Edward Island in the east…
