Going to Brooks Falls on your Bucket List? It was ours. My boyfriend and I are serious photographers and videographers. I had so many questions. When is the best time to go to Brooks Falls? Is it worth it to go to Brooks Falls in September? Should we take the float plane or the water taxi to Brooks Falls? When is the best time to shoot Brooks Falls? What is the food in the Brooks Lodge like? Should we camp or stay in the lodge at Brooks Falls? Can I get WiFi at Brooks Lodge? How strict are the weight limits on the planes to King Salmon and Brooks Falls? How are we going to charge our cameras at Brooks Falls? How much does all this cost? How long should we stay at Brooks Falls? Is there phone service at Brooks Lodge? How far do we have to hike to get to Brooks Falls? Is the 10,000 Smokes Tour worth it? How do we get the most out of our meal at Brooks Lodge? Where is the best place to camp at Brooks Campground? Should I get a Brooks River Corridor Permit? Is Brooks Falls Wheeled Mobility User Accessible? How do I recommend you prepare for this onceinalifetime trip? And most importantly, if you didn't get reservations to Brooks Lodge or Brooks Campground, is there any way to still go? I got through all this and more! Enjoy!
