A Brown Bear at the famous Brooks Falls with with one of several salmon we witnessed it catching.
We've made several trips to Katmai and Lake Clark national parks over the years to observe Brown Bears but we've avoided Brooks Falls, preferring to mingle with the bears in the creeks and rivers where they pursue salmon in an effort to fatten up for their coming hibernation.
Brooks falls is probably the most famous and popular place to view the bears but that comes with crowds of people and viewing from platforms and elevated board walks. By late August and early September the crowds have thinned. While there are fewer bears at that time, we preferred the less crowded conditions.
A downside to photography at the falls is that the platform is elevated so that photographers are shooting at a slight downward angle whereas most of us prefer an eye level perspective or even to shoot from below our subject.
All in all we had a pretty positive experience at Brooks.
