Alaska's volcanic wilderness of ten thousand smokes and North America's largest protected brown bear population

Katmai National Park and Preserve

Katmai National Park and Preserve is a vast protected wilderness area in southwest Alaska, spanning over 4 million acres along the Alaska Peninsula across from Kodiak Island. The park is world-renowned for two remarkable features: the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, a dramatic landscape created by the catastrophic 1912 eruption of Novarupta and Mount Katmai, and its extraordinary population of Alaska Peninsula brown bears, the largest protected concentration in North America with approximately 2,200 individuals. The park encompasses a volcanic mountain chain of the Aleutian Range, deeply indented coastline along Shelikof Strait, and extensive lake systems in its western reaches. Originally established as a national monument in 1918 to protect the volcanic area, Katmai evolved through multiple expansions and was redesignated as a national park and preserve in 1980 under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. Today the park stands as one of Alaska's premier wilderness destinations, where visitors can witness brown bears fishing for salmon at Brooks Falls, explore the remnants of one of the twentieth century's most powerful volcanic eruptions, and experience a landscape shaped by fire, ice, and the seasonal rhythms of salmon.
