Brooks Falls Bear Viewing

New in 2012, check out this awesome footage of bears feeding on salmon at Brooks Falls. Two cameras are available, one at the Brooks Falls and one at the Lower River Best viewing hours are 7:00 am to 10:30 pm, Alaska Time (four hours behind Eastern).

As you watch the bears patiently poised for incoming salmon, image the strength necessary to withstand such powerfully rushing water, and the insulation needed to stay warm in water that is not too far above freezing temperatures.

Break in storms over Brooks River

The Brooks River sites together have the highest density of Arctic Small Tool tradition houses. The tradition, which dates from about 3,000 to 3,800 years ago, is still mysterious and is present at very few places in Alaska.
