Just Weeks Away from Bears!

Stay tuned to our Facebook page to learn when#BearCam goes “live” for the season! We expect to see bears in late June/early July.

Approximately 2,200 bears live in Katmai. In July there may be about 80-100 bears at Brooks Camp. Brooks Falls is busiest from July through the first week or two of August. On days when lots of fish are jumping, there will be fewer bears because they are full and sleeping, and conversely, when the salmon runs are slow, the falls become crowded with bears competing for a meal.

Until then, please enjoy these choice highlights from last season: http://goo.gl/xHsocj
