Haines

Nestled at the northern end of the Inside Passage where the Lynn Canal meets the Chilkat River valley, Haines is a small, authentic Alaska town surrounded by some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the state. Home to the world's largest congregation of bald eagles at the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, Haines offers uncrowded wilderness adventures, Native Tlingit culture, and a genuine small-town atmosphere that contrasts with the busier cruise ports.
