On Retreat: Women’s Fly Fishing in Baja and Alaska

“The Lodge at 58 North is more than a lodge – it’s a doorway. A place where your phone loses signal, but your heart picks up something better. Connection. Where you strip down and plunge into a glacial river just to remember how alive you are. Cold hands. Sore arms. Salt in your hair. Joy in your bones.”

Our host, Libby DeLana, wrote this piece for YOLO Journal and we're so thrilled to share this with you....

"Some places reset your inner compass. The Lodge at 58 North does just that. Located in the remote wilds of King Salmon, Alaska, it’s where silence hums with life. Bald eagles. Bears. Light that never fully disappears in summer. I’ve visited in October and in June, and both were unforgettable.

Kate and Justin Crump, the owners, have created something special here. A blend of Danish design and Alaskan soul. Clean lines, big windows, warm wood everywhere. Their floatplane sits right at the dock, ready to take you to some of the best fishing spots I’ve ever seen. The guides are not only wildly skilled, they’re deeply kind. The food? Oh, just a Michelin-starred chef making art out of local ingredients. No big deal."
