Katmai National Park
Welcome to Katmai National Park and Preserve, a vast and untamed wilderness where dramatic volcanic landscapes meet spectacular displays of wildlife. Home to thousands of years of history and one of the largest protected brown bear populations in the world, Katmai offers an authentic and immersive Alaskan adventure. Prepare to explore a land of rugged beauty, raw power, and unforgettable moments.
A Landscape Forged by Fire
Katmai’s stunning scenery is a direct result of its explosive volcanic past. The 1912 eruption of Novarupta, one of the largest of the 20th century, created the magnificent Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. This dramatic landscape of deep canyons and ash-covered valleys stands as a powerful testament to the Earth’s geologic forces. Exploring this unique terrain offers a glimpse into a world still being shaped by nature.
World-Famous Brown Bear Viewing
Katmai is synonymous with brown bears, and for good reason. The park provides a sanctuary for these incredible animals, with prime viewing opportunities at locations like Brooks Falls. Here, you can safely witness dozens of bears congregating to feast on migrating salmon. This unparalleled spectacle of nature provides a thrilling and deeply moving experience for wildlife lovers and photographers alike.
