By Nat Hab Traveler Phyllis Posner | Bears of Brooks Falls: Solitude Season It is the end of the season. As we walk through Katmai National Park each day, there are several bears left, still filling up on food for winter.
Travel Tales
By Nat Hab Traveler Valerie Van Griethuysen | Ultimate Alaska Wildlife Safari I experienced countless memorable moments during my Ultimate Alaska Wildlife Safari.
Alaska
Each summer, the largest coastal grizzlies on Earth converge on Katmai National Park & Preserve to feast upon the bounty of the Alaska Peninsula. Brown bear sows and cubs graze on sedges and salmon while keeping an eye out for solitary males.

“Watching the brown bears from the viewing platforms at Brooks Falls was truly memorable. Sub-adults trying to catch a salmon, cubs playing and climbing up and down trees, and mother bears charging to protect their cubs. But sharing the trails with the bears and having them walk right by me was surreal.

“Our two-week wildlife tour in Alaska was one of the best trips ever, filled with close viewing of grizzly bears, orca and humpback whales, puffins, moose, sea otters, dall sheep, mountain goats, an amazing variety of wildflowers, and spectacular glaciers and icebergs.
Alaska
It’s exactly the kind of wild natural scenery you envision when you picture “Alaska”—snow-capped peaks towering above a placid creek that gently winds its way through a verdant valley in the remote wilderness of the Alaska Peninsula.
