Alaska is popular for glaciers and gigantic brown bears. Most of Alaska's brown bears live along the coasts in Lake Clark National Park. You can easily sight brown bears in Lake Clark National Park through Alaska bear viewing trips. Brown bears are gigantic because they have a bigger hump on their shoulders, smaller ears, and longer, straighter claws. They are also much bigger than black bears. Some of these bears can live up to 20 or even 30 years. They have a good sense of smell and can find smells from more than a mile away. 

Many Alaskan brown bear tours offer Coastal brown bears watching on boats and a sea plane from June onwards. They look for food to get ready for their winter hibernation. In early summer, they eat coastal grasses, dig for clams, and catch salmon in Alaska's rivers. Since there's a lot of food in June, bears don't fight for it much, and visitors can see a lot of different bear behaviors during their trip.

One of the best ways to see brown bears is by joining an Alaska brown bear tour with a trusted tour company. These companies know the best spots to see bears in June and can help make your trip unforgettable. Some of the top places to see brown bears in June are:

  • Katmai National Park and Preserve: Bears start gathering at Brooks Falls for the annual salmon run toward the end of June. Visitors can watch the bears fishing from safe and easy-to-reach viewing platforms.
  • Lake Clark National Park: Redoubt Bay is a popular place to see brown bears in June. The bears come here to eat salmon in Big River Lake all summer. Black bears can also be seen in the area, but they usually leave early in the summer when the brown bears arrive.
