We are home in SW Oklahoma and wanted to send in the picture. The time we spent at...
Great Alaska Bear Camp
Our remote Brown Bear viewing camp is located on the shores of Lake Clark National Park in a rugged wilderness. Named the #1 bush camp in North America by Outside Magazine and one of America's Best Adventures" by National Geographic traveler. This amazing camp sits in a virtual time machine...between the towering snow capped mountains of the Alaska Range and the ice cold waters of Cook Inlet. Accessible only by water (or some seriously rugged bushwacking from some bush communities!) it has been called "the Alaska of your dreams" and "all I imagined it could be" by past guests. You may enjoy the trip via one of our 5, 7 or 10 day packages, or as the perfect 1, 2 or 3 day add-on to your independent tour of Alaska. Click here to see our independent bear viewing experiences...
OUR FAMOUS RESIDENT BROWN BEARS
In the early spring, female Brown Bear (Ursos Arctos) leave their dens with young in tow, to feed on the succulent saltwater and sedge grasses found around our camp. This allows us the opportunity to view and photograph these magnificent animals without impacting them, i their own environment. Like the grasses and salmon they feed upon, the bears are transitory – following the most available food source. One day trips to the camp take place in June and July only, with overnight stays all throughout the season (6/01-9/01).
Your approximately 50 minute flight carries you over Cook Inlet, home of one of the world’s largest tides and skirts the ancient glaciers of Mt. Illiamna and Mt. Redoubt. The beach landing at our private camp in Lake Clark National Park begins your time at one of the world’s great wild animal experiences. Our guests and their guides will spend 24 to 36 hours with these marvelous icons of our Alaska wildlands before returning to civilization to share the experience.
The Bearcamp experience is included in some of our most popular itineraries: the Ultimate Combination, Lodge Wilderness package, Cruise Extensionas well as the National Park Safari and Wilderness Safari.
The Camp itself...
The camp itself sits in a copse of trees between the mountains and the shoreline. Custom “Weather-Port” cabin/tents are on raised platforms with small decks out front and sleep two apiece. The tents feature carpeted, wooden floors, solid doors, propane heat and light and twin beds. Meals are brought in daily by plane and finished off by the staff at camp. Meals are family-style, and feature fresh seafood, meats, pasta and even a glass of wine for those who like. Battery charging is available via solar panels and some limited generator time but we highly recommend bringing a few spare batteries for your digital cameras. You can also give them a final charge at the main lodge prior to boarding the plane for the flight.
The Bear Camp experience can be shared by those on independent itineraries. Our vans leave Anchorage daily from both downtown and airport locations, while those on independent itineraries with their own car may check in at the main lodge, get directions and that day's flight schedule. (Flights leave from the Soldotna airport, 12 miles from the lodge).
