Haines, Alaska

We made it to a little corner of Alaska. Haines is located near Skagway. We left Whitehorse, Yukon and drove to Haines Junction, Yukon. From there we drove south to a very nice campground called Million Dollar Falls. We spent the night and enjoyed a nice fire. The Yukon government campgrounds are great. Huge picnic tables, nice level sites, and free firewood and all for $12.00 a night. This morning we drove south to Haines and what a beautiful drive it was. The mountains along this stretch of highway are really beautiful. We saw two grizzlies on our drive.

Once in Haines we stopped at a great bakery, then had to work off the goodies by taking a hike. The hike was through beautiful forest to the beach. Once we reached the beach it was miserable with lots of biting deer flies. So, we headed back and had lunch in Haines. We'll post some pictures in a day or so - check back to the blog soon!
