Photos From the Annual Katmai, Alaska Bearstravaganza!

Our annual trip to Alaska came a bit later this year, so it was interesting to see the bears with a bit more meat on their bones after the smorgasbord that was the salmon run. Speaking of which – don’t forget to cast your vote for Fat Bear week 2026!

Next year’s Katmai adventure will take place a bit earlier in the season once again, and that adventure is nearly full already, so if you’ve been intrigued by this trip in the past, now is the time to join and give yourself plenty of time to prepare for what is always a rewarding trip.

If you’re looking to get up to Alaska before then and focus on other aspects of this vast and varied location, I’ll also be heading there in February to photograph eagles and the aurora. Sign up now to save a few hundred bucks with an early bird discount.
