If I told you this was the first fish I’ve caught, would you believe me? 🎣

The river was running hot yesterday and I caught my limit of 3!

I’m about to head down to the river again this morning and I’m hoping for a repeat.

FISH ON! 🤩

My mom and I tried to visit @katmainpp about 6 years ago but weather that day wasn’t great so our guide took us to @lakeclarknps instead.

We finally made it to Katmai National Park & Preserve last week and watching the bears fish at Brooks Falls is something I wish everyone could see themselves (the bear cams do not do it justice). I counted 29 bears at one time!

Even though it’s a popular tourist destination, it still feels very wild.

Camping out here really takes the experience to another level. You’re walking through and sleeping in bear territory. You really have to watch your back because the bears are everywhere and they even sleep in the middle of the trail.

Eventually your mind starts to play tricks on you and you start believing that tree stumps are bears staring at you (see pic 3) 😂

Doesn’t it look like a bear? 🐻

From braided rivers to glacier-covered peaks, the views looking out from the window of our bush plane were mesmerizing.

While we were at Brooks Falls watching brown bears fishing for salmon, a lone wolf walked along the other side of the river 🐺

This was my first wild wolf sighting in Alaska and I can’t believe I managed to accidentally capture it on camera!

Have you seen a wild wolf before?

Rabbit Lake was so gorgeous yesterday! 🌞

The weather was amazing and almost too hot but we were able to cool off by taking a dip in the very cold lake water ➡️

The last time I hiked out here was in 2015 😱 It was so cold so we took a group photo above the lake and immediately turned around.

It was nice to be able to sit and enjoy the beauty surrounding this lake.

This hike is 8.5 miles roundtrip and is located in Anchorage. It’s fairly easy with a gradual incline but it’s very rocky, a little wet, and some parts are overgrown.

This is a popular hike for trail runners and is also used by mountain bikers.

The parking here is always a struggle and has gotten worse with the Flattop Sunnyside Trail nearby. The narrow street is usually packed with cars, which makes turning around a hassle.

Have you hiked to Rabbit Lake? 🥾
