Nature
Hallo Bay, known in Sugpiaq as Ayut or Ayu, is a sandy bay in Alaska within Katmai National Park beneath the Aleutian Range. It is one of the park’s best-known bear-viewing areas, where grizzly bears gather on tidal flats to feed on sedges, dig clams, and in July catch salmon. As many as five or six large bears may be visible at once. Years without hunting and generally gentle human visitation have left the bears usually timid but notably tolerant of people. The area is also associated with the fatal 2003 bear incident involving Timothy Treadwell, and accommodations there remain limited.
