Haines Alaska: Where are we?

Alaska tip #6: The Helicopter trip to the Glacier was very expensive, but if you can afford it, do it!



I have never heard of Haines, Alaska. It boasts a population of 1,644 people. They are the closest port to Glacier Bay and have a small cluster of tourist trap shops, and shore excursions onto the glaciers launch from this stop. 


Elaine and Patty took a helicopter to the glacier where they mushed dog sleds. They were so impressed with this side trip they designated it the “Most Raved about” adventure of the trip. Billie and Beth split up and went on whale watching and Photographic excursions.




Frozen Earth was the entertainment for the evening. A spectacular photographic presentation, music provided by a lovely group of classical musicians.
