Alaskan Coastal Bear Catching Salmon on their return trip to their spawning Grounds.. This image is at Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park Alaska. It is the famous site you see on National Geographic etc channel/shows when they show bears catching salmon. It use to be more fun/excitement to traverse the quarter mile trail to the falls on the ground as you were in the woods where the bears are. ( and you were in a group of 20 people, you only have to out run one of them LOL..) now they have built a wooden walkway that is about 5 feet off the ground to get to the falls..They did this mainly so they could have a quick turnaround of people viewing the area. as they try to do this every hour. but when bears fall asleep on the trail .. It all comes to a stand still until the bears wake up.. I had one lucky occasion where I was at the falls for 3 hours as this is how long the bear slept on the trail. They won’t wake him up as he lives there and we are visiting.. at least that was the rangers take on it..LOL Hope you enjoy the image which is kind of the iconic image most strive for when photographing there..
