Acclaimed naturalists introduce you to the quiet fishing village of Haines. Leave civilization behind at the trailhead and journey into the majestic forest, winding through towering spruce and hemlock trees. You'll soon realize you're sharing this unique habitat with not only moss, ferns and centuries-old trees, but moose, bear and bald eagles as well. Our guides are second to none in their knowledge of local culture, natural history and fitness preparation, which they enjoy sharing with you. Relax and enjoy a delicious snack on a beautiful black pebble beach, well-known for marine mammal viewing. Take in the breathtaking panorama of Taiya and Chilkoot inlets framed by the glacier-carved peaks of the Coast Range. Wildflowers abound in the meadows, and you'll be surrounded by chocolate lily, shooting star, wild iris and geranium. If you're looking for more exercise, the tour can be customized to cover more trails. Your guide will determine the hiking distance based on the group's abilities.
