Brooks Camp Visitor Center

Address: Brooks Camp, Katmai National Park, King Salmon, AK 99613

Katmai is famous for two things: the 1912 Novarupta eruption, the largest volcanic blast of the 20th century, which filled a valley with ash to create the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, and the world's densest gatherings of brown bears, which fish for salmon at Brooks Falls.

Watch bears catch leaping salmon from the safe platforms at Brooks Camp and walk the lakeshore trails. For a challenge, take the bus out to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes and hike down into the stark ash-filled valley itself.
