Adventure Having appeared in magazines and films around the
world, Katmai's brown bears are renowned Alaskan icons. The world's largest
run of sockeye salmon up the Naknek River creates an ideal feast for brown
bears - attracting more than 2,000 of the bruins to the lands of Katmai
National Park and Preserve. This is one of the world's premier brown bear
viewing trips.

The ride from Anchorage to the Denali National Park entrance takes about five hours. The trip from the park entrance to Kantishna lodges at the end of the park road may take an additional six hours, making for a long day of travel. The total trip can be completed in one day, but we suggest that visitors traveling to Kantishna break up their travel time and stay overnight at the park entrance before continuing on to the lodge the next day.
