Adventure awaits you in the quaint town of Haines, Alaska. As the only town in Southeast with road connection to the rest of the state and the continental United States, Haines is a crossroads between Alaska and the rest of North America. Haines is rich in Southeast Alaskan culture: it is the site of the annual Southeast Alaska State Fair and is just down the road from Klukwan, the mother village of the Tlingit Nation. Dance, music, and art celebrate the cultural and environmental landscapes that define Haines. Only 15 minutes away by air, Glacier Bay National Park is full of icy blue glaciers and sweeping vistas at every turn. Every fall, the largest congregation of Bald Eagles in the world draws hundreds of onlookers to Haines to witness the truly spectacular natural event. Haines is characterized by abundance: opportunities for hunting, hiking, fishing, and whale watching are right at your doorstep.
