We have been in Haines, Alaska for the last four days. Haines is another harbor completely surrounded by mountains. We leave tomorrow, Friday for Hyder, Alaska. We have to go back through Yukon Territory and British Columbia and it will take three days to get there.
While we were here we were able to see several Grizzly bears feeding and many Eagles. There are over 400 resident eagles with another 4200 due to migrate here in October.
Our last day here we took a catamaran to Juneau, Alaska. We saw many Humpback Whales on the way over and back. While we were there we took a quick tour of the city and got to see a nearby glacier. The harbor here is so deep the large cruise ships tie up right the shopping district just fifty feet from the street. Juneau is landlocked, the only way there is by plane or boat.
