What should I pack for a stay in a Montana resort cabin, considering the weather and activities?
Montana weather can be unpredictable, especially in the mountains. We recommend packing layers of clothing, including:
- Waterproof and windproof outerwear: Even in summer, sudden rain showers are possible.
- Warm layers: Fleece jackets, sweaters, and thermal underwear are essential for cooler evenings and mornings.
- Sturdy hiking boots: If you plan on exploring the trails, comfortable and supportive footwear is crucial.
- Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat: Protect yourself from the strong Montana sun.
- Insect repellent: Especially during the warmer months, mosquitoes and other insects can be prevalent.
- Fishing gear (if applicable): If you plan on fishing, bring your own gear or rent from our on-site shop.
- Binoculars and a camera: Capture the stunning scenery and wildlife.
At Forrester's Bighorn River Resort, we invite you to experience the magic of Montana in the comfort of our rustic luxury cabins. Book your stay today and create memories that will last a lifetime.

"With the terrific bird hunting and excellent food at Forrester’s, we have a great vacation every time."
Mayo and I have come to the Bighorn for four years now, and for the last three years, we have arrived at the lodge to find the same convergence of fun repeat guests who hail from all over the country. We’ve become good friends, and will even be meeting up for some quail hunting in Georgia this winter. The group has a good mix of men and women. Some of us women hunt, some walk with the hunters, and some stay in and enjoy the peace and quiet of the lodge. We’re a little raucous at cocktail hour which we enjoy. With the terrific bird hunting and excellent food at Forrester’s, we have a great vacation every time.- Susan -
