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.
