Summer officially drew to a close over the weekend, leaving many of us who love spending time outdoors in our hiking boots feeling a little blue. Not to worry, though, Fat Bear Week 2024 is just around the corner to cheer you up, and you can place an early vote now.
If you don't already know, Fat Bear Week is a highly-anticipated March Madness-style bracket competition that has attracted millions of wildlife fans around the globe since its inception in 2014. This fun contest is a celebration of Katmai National Park's healthy, bear-friendly ecosystem. The Alaska National Park is one of the best brown (grizzly) bear viewing areas in the world with well over 2,000 bears and some of the highest bear densities ever recorded.
