Haines, Alaska & a bear fishing
The 146 mile Haines Highway connects Haines Alaska with Haines Junction in the Yukon on the Alaska Highway. Haines Highway is usually snow-free by May. The Haines Highway is known for its grand views of glaciated mountains and the variety of scenery. In 2004, the two RV Gypsies cruised Alaska and went to the Chikat Bald Eagle Preserve in Haines (perhaps a separate area for the 2004 Alaska trip will be put on this website at a later date). This trip, the two RV Gypsies visited Haines for the sole purpose of seeing bears fish - mission accomplished.
sign - Welcome to Haines, Alaska
You can drive to Haines at any time because the U.S. customs is open 24 hours a day as of 2007. But you cannot cross into Canada from Haines between 11p.m. and 7 a.m. Alaska time because Canada customs is only open 8 a.m. to midnight Pacific time.
 
Haines Hitch-Up R.V. Park is nicely decorated around the office area. There is a car/RV wash directly across the street. No washing vehicles on camp site. No clotheslines or clothes hanging outside. Do not use patio or door mats. Office personnel were very friendly and helpful and even directed us to the best bear viewing area. Cable with lots of channels except ABC available at extra cost. Wi-Fi available at extra cost. 92 sites, level grassy spaces. 50 amp available.
