Tips from the community
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.
