• Natuur

  Coastal bears in the sedge meadows

  25 mei – 15 jul · meestalDierenseizoen

  Before the salmon arrive, brown bears graze the coastal sedge meadows and dig clams at places like Hallo Bay. Day trips by floatplane from Homer or Kodiak are the way to see them; Brooks Falls is still quiet. Bron ↗

Topdrukte — July salmon run at the falls, Summer break in Verenigde Staten

• Opening

  Brooks Camp season

  1 jun – 17 sepWandelseizoenBoek vroeg

  The camp, the lodge and the campground run from 1 June to 17 September and there is nothing else out there — no road, no shop, no phone signal. Campground nights are released a year ahead and go in seconds. Bron ↗

• Regel

  Brooks River corridor permits

  15 jun – 31 oktBoek vroeg

  From mid-June to the end of October, while the salmon are in, you need a permit to be in the Brooks River corridor at all — seven days, six people, booked on recreation.gov for a small fee. Day visitors off a floatplane need one too. Bron ↗

  July salmon run at the falls

  25 jun – 5 aug · meestalDierenseizoenDrukBoek vroeg

  Sockeye stack up below Brooks Falls and the bears stand in the lip catching them mid-air, which is the picture everyone has seen. The viewing platform runs a timed queue in July because there is only room for so many. Bron ↗

• Natuur

  September bears on spawned fish

  1 sep – 15 okt · meestalDierenseizoen

  The second wave: bears working the lower river for dying salmon rather than leaping at the falls, fatter, calmer and with far fewer people watching. Weather grounds more flights than in July.

• Festival

  Fat Bear Week

  20 sep – 8 okt · meestalDierenseizoen

  A knockout vote on which Brooks River bear has put on the most weight before hibernating, run on the park webcams by explore.org with the park and the conservancy. You watch it from anywhere; the bears are indifferent. Bron ↗

  Once the lodge and ranger services wind down at the end of September there is no lodging, food or scheduled access at Brooks Camp until June. The park stays open, but only experienced, self-reliant parties go in. Bron ↗
