• Wet/dry/cold/hot weather clothes. It can snow any month of the year, so be prepared for anything from hot, sunny days to rain or snow. Bring a variety of clothing layers for all kinds of weather. Bring a swimsuit if you’d like to swim in the lake.
• Entertainment: Bring games, outdoor gear, or fishing gear if you like to fish (A Wyoming fishing license is required). The station has puzzles, kayaks, and canoes available for overnight visitors.
• Bear Spray – This can be purchased at the general store, and we also have a bear spray loan program for AMK guests depending on availability. Bear spray is not allowed in carry-on luggage, so if you are flying, either check your luggage or obtain it after you arrive. We will gladly accept donations of bear spray if you want to leave some for other researchers to use.  Read about bear safety and know how to correctly use bear spray. You can also watch the bear safety demonstration held at the station during the 2016 season.
