I bet that guy with the wide angle wished he packed a little differently.

Haha! For real man. When I saw this I just thought that if I were the person that took the photo, I'd just be glad there were two people closer than me!

If anyone is interested in going to see the bears of Katmai National Park you obviously need to get to Alaska first. You could contact any of these companies to get you out to Katmai. Fly Rusts, Homer Air, Sasquatch Alaska, Bald Mountain Air, or Emerald Air. They all offer Day Bear Viewing that lasts between 8-12 hours. The time includes the flight to and from Katmai. Prices are between $595-$800. Although I did not go on one of these trips while in Alaska, I did a lot of research and these companies offer the best value to get out there. They also have good reviews. Depending on the company you would fly out of Homer, Soldotna or Anchorage.
