Katmai National Park and Preserve

Formed by the magma-belching chambers of the primeval Novarupta volcano, the peaks and troughs of the Katmai National Park are something to take the breath away. They cluster around the north-eastern end of the huge Alaska Peninsula, where they roll through endless swathes of designated wilderness untouched by human hands. Most travelers willing to fork out the time —and the cash—to get here come to see the Katmai brown bears during the annual salmon catch.

It might be pretty tricky to get to, but Katmai National Park is real wilderness. Framed by mountain silhouettes and frothing ocean waters, it’s got rivers where bears seek salmon catches and herds of majestic caribou to boot.

Katmai National Park in Alaska consists of icy tundra, endless wilderness, and wildlife that is both friendly and fearful at times (read: bears). This volcanic landscape encompasses thousands of years of human history and provides visitors a chance to experience the wilds of nature.

After devastating volcanic eruptions, the unique rocky landscape of this Alaska-based National park was formed. Katmai National Park is excellent for explorers seeking a versatile landscape experience amongst active volcanoes in the USA. Stop by lookout platforms to witness the park's famous brown bears fishing in the water for salmon.
