Brown Bear catching salmon at Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park. Every July the Brown Bears gather at Brooks Falls for the annual salmon run. The park has established safe walking trails and viewing platforms that allow visitors to watch the majestic scene without disturbing the bears. It is truly a once in a lifetime dream come true to see them.
