Our comfortable basecamp (one that we've made bear resistant by surrounding
with an electric fence) venue in Katmai National Park is arguably one of the most spectacular, remote and pristine areas in southwest Alaska to view these majestic creatures. The tundra hiking that surrounds our camp is second to none, and it's not uncommon to see wolves, moose, and caribou during our stay. Furthermore, the fishing on the adjacent creeks for rainbow trout and salmon has been called world class! But most importantly, it's about the coastal Alaska brown bears that visit this area each and every year to fatten up on spawning salmon - sockeye salmon from Bristol Bay, the world's richest salmon fishery.
