What August feels like
August is the Golden North Salmon Derby weekend, which empties the town onto the water regardless of forecast, and the bears show up at Steep Creek beside the glacier to fish. Berry picking peaks, and so does the rain gear.
This is the wet season: rain on about 14 days, so pack accordingly. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy.
