We made up some pumpkin pie bear puddings for dessert today and were nearly wiped out by a group of college kids. We only have three more out on the grill now!

We put another meatloaf on the grill this evening. We've got one whole loaf or four servings. Eat it on it's own, in a sandwich or on one of our potatoes for dinner!

We have a new fat Bear Champ! Bear 89 nicknamed "Backpack"

As Fat Bear Week comes to a close, we’re celebrating more than crowned champions and epic bear glow‑ups, we’re celebrating all of you!

Your votes, your posts, your favorite bear campaigns, and your shared love for Katmai’s wild places turned this week into a collective story shaped by thousands of voices. It’s a reminder that just like America’s 250th anniversary, traditions endure because people keep them alive.

This year, we honored resilience in our bears and in our nation, recognizing the landscapes, communities, and shared stories that connect us. Thanks for being part of the journey. Until next year, enjoy the bears, salmon, and human connection that keeps Katmai's ecosystems alive.
