Travel Tips
The opportunity to experience and photograph a giant brown bear in its natural habitat is, in a word, awesome! And photos don’t lie. In fact, we would go so far as to suggest that images of Alaska’s enormous brown bears are among the most iconic wildlife photos on Earth.
Alaska
Recently, I traveled with Natural Habitat Adventures on its “Alaska Grizzly Encounter: Kodiak to Katmai.” I can now say that having the opportunity to spend time with Alaska’s big brown bears is one of the most authentic wildlife experiences any nature traveler can have.

Big, charismatic fauna and the large terrains and environments they live in—such as polar bears in the Arctic and whales in the world’s oceans—are always captivating.

It was barely dawn. We huddled amongst hard, orange rocks of Zion National Park, listening carefully to the trickle of water of that once carved its way through the canyon. Peter, as usual, took a long look through his lens before taking the picture.

Travel Tales
Running 250 miles down the British Columbia, Canada, coast, the Great Bear Rain Forest is a wild expanse of western cedars, hemlocks and spruce trees. This 21 million-acre area—whose boundaries have never been precisely defined—is the largest coastal temperate rain forest on Earth.

The Amazon river dolphin isn’t the easier creature to photograph, especially in the murky, brown waters of the Amazon. When our guide spotted them as we glided by the village of Requena along the Amazon river, I began to snap photos in the general vicinity where they were surfacing.

Anyone who has visited Yellowstone National Park can attest to the beauty of Grand Prismatic Spring, a body of water that has a deep, brilliant blue color at its center and measures 370 feet in diameter.
