| The Falls at Katmai |
Finally, we arrived at Anchorage International Airport, Alaska. We slept there
for about 7 hours, waiting for a plane to King Salmon. We boarded a tiny plane
that can only fit in 30 persons. After an hour, we reached King Salmon’s small
airport. We got lots of information there.
We planned to go to Katmai National Park to look at grizzly
bears and the salmon run. We wen there by a float plane within 25 minutes. We spotted a bear wandering around the tall grass. After a Bear Talk, we hiked around, planning to go The Falls, the
best platform to watch bears and salmons. After a mile walk, plus a 'bear jam', a jam that causes tourists to stop because of the bears, we arrived. We saw several bears and 3 salmons
jumped only. The bears are huge, covered with scars.
While we walked with a ranger back to the lodge near 5:00 pm, we met a
bear 50 ft. away walking down the road. We were kind of nervous (except for the ranger
maybe). We made a reverse back and hid at the woods. Luckily, the bear went to
the other way. SCARY!!! Tomorrow we’re going to Katmai to watch bears again……
P.S. If you are going to Katmai National Park, remember to bring binoculars.
