Here's the view from our "window." There is nothing like the Alaskan landscape. We’ve been hosting visitors at our four Bristol Adventures lodges for over 75 years, and we're here to tell you that August tends to get overlooked as one of the best times to visit. If you're looking for the perfect day trip when you're here, check out our bear watching and fly fishing day trips via Katmai Air.
Though August is a popular month to visit Alaska, it’s less crowded than July and September. This means less wait time at the most popular bear viewing platforms and more time allowed on the platform. During our busiest months, Katmai National Park rangers put a time limit on the amount of time visitors can spend on the viewing platforms, but during the month of August time limits are often not enforced.
