The world's most iconic bear-viewing region, combining two legendary Alaskan parks. Katmai's Brooks Falls sees dozens of bears lining up in July to snatch sockeye salmon mid-leap — the image every wildlife photographer knows — while Lake Clark's coastal flats (Chinitna Bay, Silver Salmon Creek) offer unrivalled ground-level encounters as grizzlies graze sedges, dig for clams, and fish among kelp. September brings a second peak, and Fat Bear Week in October has become an internet phenomenon. Floatplane access from King Salmon, Homer, or Anchorage.
