We are on a platform at Brooks Falls. Sometime they are right below you and when at the falls 15 yards all the way across the river is probably 50 or so yards. Iā€™m not good at distance. In Alaska these bears are all about the salmon and don care about the people. We had a permit to do down to the river and the bears were all over. If you saw one you just stepped off the path and let it pass. The closes was 10 yards away in the grass when we saw it. It saw us and we just gave each other room. The bears are in the river with the fishermen as well.

I hope you have a very long telephoto lens! Great shots as long as it is safe.


It is Alaska and Brooks Falls. It is a different ballgame there where the bears see lots of people and are only intern the fish. Not at all like Yellowstone!

I knew I had to get the Brooks Falls experience out of my system! Now I will go back and spend more time in Lake Clark.

I'm back at bears again. It was interesting how the first 2 days at Brooks Falls there were so few fish that when one was caught there were several bears on hand to ask for handouts. Then after the salmon ran over night and many of the bears were off sleeping with full bellies the bears would only eat the parts they wanted and let the gulls and other scavengers have the rest. Or the fish parts just floated down stream.


You are always shooting great shots. Really enjoyable shots.

I envy you being able to take these photographs on a regular basis.
I have ever had this opportunity so far.

While the Bears are away, Goldilocks enjoys her day.
