Every year, the largest gathering of brown bears in the world occurs in Alaska’s McNeil River State Game Sanctuary. Between June and August the bears arrive at the river’s falls to fish for salmon.
For many years, people have been visiting this same spot, behaving in a consistent, predictable, manner so as to not spook the bears. Human access to the park is limited, but every year a handful of lucky visitors are allowed to come and photograph the bear congregation at McNeil Falls.
