A great area to fish. But stay alert, because where
there are fish, there are sure to be bears. You can
also explore several threads of Alaska's history at
the Baranov Museum, Alutiiq Museum, and the
historic WWII ruins at Fort Abercrombie State
Historical Park.
Spend the day bear-watching at the renowned
Brooks Falls, where you can photograph bears
fishing during salmon season (June, July, August).
Or hit the trails in the Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes, a surreal landscape shaped by a 1912
volcanic eruption.
Fewer than 5,000 visitors a year explore this
wildlife-filled park, winding around 42-mile-long
Lake Clark. Come here to spend time on the
turquoise water, to hike tundra-covered hills,
or to explore the historic sites scattered across
its 5,625 square miles.
This amazing place is set between the North Pacific
and the Bering Sea, and has evolved into a busy
fishing town of 4,000 people. You can explore
the rich local history of Alaska Native cultures,
Russian explorers, and WWII soldiers while taking
in wonderful ocean views.
This four-island archipelago, in the Bering Sea,
is a birder's wonderland, attracting such a diverse
array of species (230) that it's come to be known
as the "Galapagos of the North." It's also home to
the largest gathering of marine mammals in the
world, featuring northern fur seals, Steller sea
lions, and walruses.
