All the bear shots I’ve collected over the years—from stealthy black bears emerging through emerald forest undergrowth, to mountain-side grizzlies searching for a quick dandelion snack in golden hour light—remind me how each moment in the wild is pure magic. Whether it’s the tiny fierceness of a cub battling with its sibling or the quiet stirring of leaves revealing a massive grizzly, these photos are a tribute to patience, wild curiosity, and the slow dance of light and life.
Here’s the wild good news: bear numbers across North America are on the rise, thanks to decades of work. Grizzly bears in the lower‑48 have climbed from just a few hundred in the 1970s to nearly 2,000 today, with thriving populations in hotspot ecosystems like Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Continental Divide. Meanwhile, North America’s black bears have bounced back to occupy about 60 % of their former range. And here’s a fun twist: the “Fat Bear Week” event in Alaska turns the annual hibernation prep into a global celebration—these portly giants can eat up to 120 lbs of salmon in a single day to ready themselves for winter!

✨Scenes from Kenai Fjords National Park ✨
I’ve been to this park 3 times and I fall in love more each time! Located just over 2 hours from Anchorage, it’s certainly one of the most accessible Alaska national parks.
While it’s easy to drive to, the vast majority of the park is only accessed from the water, so you’ll definitely want to hop on a boat while you’re there!
Here is a mini-guide to visiting Kenai Fjords 👇
Make sure to leave no trace - pack out all of your trash, come prepared (carry bear spray for the Harding Icefield trail), and never feed or approach wildlife.
🥾Hike to Exit Glacier (2.2 miles), and/or up to the Harding Icefield (8.6 miles with a lot of elevation gain) if you’re up for a challenge
🛶Take a kayaking tour with kayakadventuresworldwide and get up close and personal with a glacier!
⛴️Take a wildlife cruise with majormarinetours and look for whales, otters, sea lions, puffins and more!
☕Take some time to explore the town of Seward, which has lots of shops and restaurants. My favorite spots are resurrect.art for coffee and art, lonechicharron for tacos, cookeryseward for fine dining, rowdy.radish for a breakfast spot that opens early, and Red’s Burgers to eat on a school bus
🗺️Stop at the Kenai Fjords visitor center for a souvenir, stamp or information.
Have you explored Kenai Fjords?
