Bears of Katmai NP with John Pedersen

Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime photo workshop photographing the bears of Katmai N.P.. You won’t want to miss this incredible experience photographing grizzly bears in their natural habitat along with other Northern wildlife, all in the beauty of the Fall colors.

We will fly in to Katmai N.P. each day on float planes and use inflatable rafts to float small streams through bear country in the Alaska wilderness.  Gently floating past fishing grizzly bears, stopping wherever there is a good photo opportunity, each day is filled with amazing experiences.  A lunch is provided for us and each day we will stop along the river to eat, shoot or just relax in this beautiful landscape. At the end of each day we will fly back to our lodge for amazing food and a warm bed after recounting the days adventure among us.  The bears can come very close to us on these trips, giving you an up-close and personal experience, but don’t worry, they are more interested in salmon than us humans.  Our guides will navigate the boats and ensure our safety in this wild land. Weather and conditions permitting, we may also fly to the world famous Brooks Camp to photograph the bears fishing on top the waterfall and in the surrounding areas.  We may even get a chance to fly up and visit Dick Pronnekes cabin along Twin Lakes.  An amazing experience to see how this man lived alone in the wilderness for many years!

Lodging, meals and transportation during the workshop is included!
