Hallo Bay Bears, 2025

Hallo Bay bears on the Katmai coast, Alaska. I had a great time hiking around Hallo Bay and wandering amongst the amazing brown bears. The highlight was encountering a momma bear with 3 cubs of the year who brought her cubs within 25 ft of me on multiple occasions. This would be impossible with inland bears or any Rocky mountain bears that I have encountered. The fact is these bears of Katmai National Park are protected from hunting and have tons of food at all times, so they are neither threatened by the presence of humans reducing defensive responses and they are so well fed that predatory responses are also unlikely. I would normally never turn my back on a bear as you see me do in this video, but I did have 2 other people with me facing the bear off camera. Bears are extremely unlikely to attack a group of 2 or more people if they stick close together as we do.
