Katmai bans tripods for bear viewers

If you’re headed to Brooks Falls for bear viewing this summer, check to see if you can use a tripod.
Katmai National Park announced it’s banning the use of all tripods and “rail-mounted” fixtures from June 15 to August 15.
Park staff say the demand for viewing space led to the decision.
