It's a pretty amazing place, but just know that the bears rule there. My mom once got stuck in a cabin there for four hours because a bear went to sleep in front of the door.

You will be required to take a bear-education class upon arrival. If you have any kind of food or lotions that have scents, prepare to store those inside, or sealed in plastic bags.

You can fish there (and the fishing is good), but with all the grizzlies around that might be more trouble than it's worth. Bears have learned that fish on the line = free meal for them.

Have fun!
