Brooks Lodge and Brooks Falls

Bears, salmon and a low waterfall in July.
Mid-July is typically when the most bears line the Brooks River, waiting at the falls for the sockeye to jump. Brooks Lodge has sixteen rooms, booked by lottery each December; a floatplane day trip reaches the same viewing platforms.
