Introduction to Haines
|
|
| |
If you are looking for an enjoyable and milder trip
to Alaska, then Haines is the ideal spot for you. Haines is perhaps the most
beautiful spot in the entire state, and the picturesque scenery of the
snow-covered mountains will satisfy all of your visual desires. When you get
close to docking in Haines you are certain to be mesmerized by the landscape,
and its aesthetic brilliance is complemented by much better weather than the
other regions of Southeast Alaska, with less than half of the annual rainfall of
Juneau. The blue waters that encompass Haines are spectacular, and because of
the comparatively pleasant weather, the area has become known as the sunny spot
of the Southeast. This city is full of culture and tradition, and its citizens
make every effort to remain true to their heritage. Many of the Tlingit people
reside in Haines, natives whose ancestors lived here hundreds of years ago.
Tourists to Alaska often remark that the Tlingits and the other locals in Haines
are some of the most likeable people in all of Alaska, comfortable with
themselves and with helping one another and visitors to their city. One of the
most pleasant nighttime activities in Haines is to venture into one of the local
bars and have a drink with someone who has lived in town their entire life. The
stories, both contemporary and ancient tribal legends, are absolutely
fascinating. Haines may be a small town, but it's got a lot of energy and life.
Its campgrounds are perfect for an afternoon hike, and if photography interests
you, you're always in luck. No matter what time of year you visit Haines, you
can be sure that you will be snapping some splendid shots. Some fine museums and
great restaurants complete a wonderful selection of memorable experiences in
Haines. |
