Question:
Is August a good time to see bears at KatmaiNational
Park?
Will be in Anchorage on 7
August 07 and would love to go somewhere where it's possible to take
those
classic shots of bears catching salmon. Brooks Falls seems to be the
right
place, but would it be too late to see bears at that time? Just
want to
be sure not to waste our money. If it is too late, what alternatives
for bear
viewing are there from
Kodiak Island.
Contact the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. Pilots from the town of Kodiak go
wherever bears are present at the moment; the refuge could advise you
on
whether any large congregations are around when you are planning to
travel.
