Up Close with Alaska’s Giants

Bear Viewing in July and August at The Lodge at 58° North

If you’ve ever searched "Where is Brooks Falls?"—you’ve likely seen the famous images of brown bears standing atop waterfalls, catching leaping salmon in midair. That iconic scene unfolds in Katmai National Park, just a short floatplane flight from The Lodge at 58° North. And July and August are the best times to witness this awe-inspiring wildlife encounter up close.

A Front-Row Seat to the Wild

At The Lodge at 58° North, our daily fly-out adventures take you into the heart of bear country—places like Brooks Falls and Moraine Creek—during the peak of the salmon fishing season in Alaska. These months offer some of the highest concentrations of brown bears anywhere in the world, drawn in by the pulse of returning salmon.

Expect to see:

Massive coastal brown bears fishing just yards away
Sows with cubs teaching survival skills
