WHAT TO BRING

First of all, Southeast Alaska is a rainforest. It is generally wetter and milder than the rest of Alaska and it would be helpful to bring clothing that can be easily layered. Temperatures can vary from the low 50’s to the high 70’s and can be windy, rainy and sunny the same day. Also, Port Alexander has no large stores, doctors or drug stores, visitors may want to bring all the medications and first aid supplies they might need.
