Bear Viewing and Camping – Katmai National Park

Day 1

Lunch & dinner included, Distance: 2-3 miles, Elevation Gain: 500′-1000

This morning you’ll start the day with an orientation and gear check at our shop in Anchorage.  We’ll then make the transfer to Merrill Field where you’ll await the flight from Anchorage to Port Alsworth.  From Merrill Field, located in the heart of Anchorage, you’ll fly west through the glacially carved splendor of Lake Clark Pass, one of the most spectacular bush flights in Alaska, arriving 1.5 hours later in the small community of Port Alsworth. With your guide team, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch on the shores of Lake Clark, discuss the adventure, and then load into float planes bound for Katmai National Park. We’ll establish our camp near the lake and will already be looking for bruins in the surrounding landscape. With camp set up and our bodies nourished for the adventure ahead, we will head out in search of the amazing creatures that we came to witness – Alaska’s coastal brown bear.
