Alaska: Katmai National Park

Bears. Bears frolicking, fishing, and fighting. And most of all, fattening up for winter. Katmai is on a peninsula in southern Alaska that is only accessible by air taxi. It is known for “Fat Bear Week,” where people worldwide guess which bear is the biggest heading into winter’s hibernation. Photographers get close-up to the grunts and odors from lookouts at Brooks Falls where bears are drawn to abundant salmon runs. Visitors can also venture out to experience the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, formed from a massive volcanic eruption.

The Katmai collection of artwork brings bear cubs playtime to life in action shots.
