Katmai National Park Coloring Page, Bears and Salmon at the Falls
Three brown bears at a waterfall, salmon leaping straight into their paws: the katmai national park coloring page captures Alaska’s most iconic wildlife moment in bold, satisfying linework.
Brown bears dominate the foreground, one swiping a salmon mid-leap from a rushing waterfall while two others wade in the churning current below. A bald eagle soars overhead, spruce trees line the middle ground, and a volcanic mountain range fills the horizon under billowing clouds.
Five or six salmon arc through the water in the lower scene, each with enough scale detail to reward a careful colorist. The botanical border, pine cones, leafy vines, and large blossoms frames everything with quiet intricacy. This katmai national park coloring page balances open fur and water areas with tighter decorative detail, making it a satisfying mix of quick wins and slower, meditative sections. Part of the States and National Parks collection, it suits anyone who wants a dramatic Alaska scene without sacrificing fine detail.

Usage Notes
Watercolor pencils are a natural fit here: lay them down dry in the fur and tree zones, then blend lightly with a damp brush to let the texture show through. Colored pencils with a blending pencil work beautifully on the salmon scales and waterfall foam, where layering cool blues and whites creates believable movement. Keep alcohol markers for the open sky and mountain shapes only, they can overwhelm the tighter botanical border if used too freely there.
Printing Tips
Card stock in the 65 to 80 lb range holds up best when you work the waterfall with a damp brush or alcohol markers. Printing at 100 percent scale preserves the salmon and border detail; scaling down compresses those fine lines and makes careful coloring harder.
