It's the most wonderful time of the year!

*Aggressively shakes you* Babe.. wake up! Fat Bear Week is back! 🎉 🙌

The wait is over! is back, and it's bigger than ever! (Maybe just as big as our competitors!) Each year, the bears of Brooks River pack on the pounds in preparation for winter hibernation, and we celebrate their successes and the healthy ecosystem in which they can thrive.

First, warm up with a teeny teaser of tubby tots and vote for the fattest cub of Brooks River in September 28 & 29! 🐻

Then, the main event: the burly behemoths battle it out in head-to-head virtual matchups that you vote for October 4-10 at fatbearweek.org. 💪

Start the countdown: begins in 2 weeks! Which chubby champion will you cheer for this year? 😍

Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park
The unemployment and desperation of the 1890s destroyed the dreams of many Americans. News of gold in the Yukon Territory reignited them. The gold rush was a second chance at a job, a fortune, and the life Americans yearned for. Housewives became hotel owners, the unemployed became entrepreneurs, and the dreams of those seeking gold forever changed the north.
