This is the REAL ALASKA! The Alaska where there are no roads and no modern conveniences. There is no way in except a float plane or a couple of flights and a water taxi! Katmai National Park is home to many, many Grizzlies! These bears stand in and around Brooks Falls each year catching and eating salmon that are headed upstream to spawn and die. The national park has built viewing platforms to make seeing these bears very safe. But the hike out to the falls is .6 miles each way and you are almost guaranteed to see a bear on the path!
Guess who knows how to get you there? Yep. This travel girl!
