A better look at the three locations that have observation platforms, from which visitors can observe and photograph bears safely: 1) the Falls, 2) the "Riffles" just above (downstream from) the Falls, and 3) the bridge across the river just before its mouth at the top. You can also see the Brooks Lodge at the top left.
This is the mouth of the Brooks River (viewed from the opposite direction as the previous photo), with the bridge and Brooks Lodge clearly visible. The amazing thing about this photo, however, is the gray/black pattern in the water, which is made by thousands upon thousands of salmon converging to make their way up the River to Brooks Lake at the other end. If you look closely, you can trace the gray stream of salmon all the way up the river.
