Dumpling Mountain Overlook Cam

A Peak Above Brooks Camp

Dumpling Mountain rises directly behind Brooks Camp, its forested trail climbing to an open overlook with sweeping views across Naknek Lake and the Katmai wilderness. The peak is one of the most recognizable landmarks of the park, a natural sentinel over the valley below.

Katmai's Untamed Wilderness

Stretching across the Alaska Peninsula, Katmai National Park protects one of the largest concentrations of protected brown bears on Earth, alongside volcanic peaks and the otherworldly Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. The remote, roadless terrain can only be reached by boat or floatplane.

A Feed for Nature Observers

Operated by Explore.org in partnership with the National Park Service, this camera streams the mountain's quiet panorama around the clock, giving viewers worldwide a window onto one of North America's most pristine sanctuaries.

Wildlife of the Valley

The waters below are famous for their sockeye salmon runs, drawing brown bears to fish at nearby Brooks Falls each summer, while eagles and moose move through the surrounding boreal forest and tundra slopes.
