Meet Katmai's fishing giants
At Katmai National Park, crowd-pleasers don't need a stage. Brown bears wait by the river, and when the salmon jump, the show begins. National Park Week—held in August this year—is the perfect time to celebrate these iconic bears and the wild home that helps them thrive.
