Katmai, Alaska -- Noted for volcanoes, brown bears, pristine waterways, abundant fish and rugged coastline.

In 1912, a volcano called novarupta, erupted and was the most powerful volcanic eruption of the 20th century. The explosion was heard 700 miles away in Juno and ash fell as far away as Texas. The valley became buried by the volcanic ash.

Katmai National Park is a bear-viewing destination. Katmai is known for its brown bear population with over 2,000 in the national park. You can see them, especially during the salmon run. Alaskan brown bears are the world's largest carnivores. The one question everyone asks is, where is Brooks Falls? Get a close-up view here!
