I'd concur that I've seen quite a few cinnamon bears in the Juneau area over the years. Maybe 10-20 percent are this color phase. More south of town from about Slocum Inlet and further south.

I recall one year seeing a cinnamon sow with three black cubs.

Only one glacier bear ever seen out just north of Tee Harbor.
