Our first trip to Katmai National Park in Alaska did not disappoint. A Brown Bear paradise with excellent opportunities to photograph a variety of individuals, including two mothers with cubs. Bald Eagles galore, as well as shorebirds and seals. We also visited the foothills of the Alaska Range - the mountain range known as the Tordrillo Mountains. Aerial views afforded unique perspective on the massive mountains, glaciers and snow and ice fields that comprise the terrain in this part of Alaska. We also visited a summer dog sled camp located on a glacier. Thanks to Dan and Tanya Cox of Natural Exposures and captain Chuck and crew for hosting our wonderful and special Katmai trip. Thanks to the staff at Winterlake Lodge, especially our guide Eli and helicopter pilot Kevin of Alpine Air, for a unique and unforgettable look at an awesome part of Alaska. We learned a lot, and hope to visit both locations again soon.
