Planning for your Trip ~ Packing Recommendations
Plan for the Weather: Dressing in several layers is important as the weather changes from cool to warm and sunny, you can be comfortable with minimal inconvenience. Our weather can vary from chilly and wet (dipping down to 40 or 45 degrees at night) to warm dry days above 80 degrees, requiring sunscreen. For the most part, our area has fair weather, but come prepared for all possible conditions. And remember that at our latitude of about 62 degrees, we have over 20 hours of daylight in June and July! You can check the local weather before coming at www.weather.com and viewing zip code 99667.
Travel Light! When traveling by float plane, baggage space is limited so avoid hard suitcases and bring only duffel bags or soft luggage for your trip to the lodge. Nearly all your clothing and gear for a week’s stay should fit inside one 15” by 30” duffel bag and one smaller bag. Also, please leave your hair dryer at home as the generator is not able to support high wattage items.
