From this viewpoint, you can see distant views of Margot Creek on its way to the Iliuk Arm of Naknek Lake. Bears do fish in this creek, and a second viewpoint down the road gets you much closer to the creek. Think about how far you want to walk: Going on to the second viewpoint will add a bit more than 6 miles, or 10 kilometers, to your round trip distance.

If you don't want to make the long walk on the road, you can pay for a ticket on the tour bus run by park concessionaire Katmailand. The drivers will let you off anywhere you like, and they will also pick you up as long as they have seats available. katmailand.com/katmai-national-park/valley-of-ten-thousand-smokes
