Day 16 ~ Chilkoot State Park

Chilkoot (not to be confused with Chilkat) State Park, about 10 miles outside of Haines.

We stopped at a couple of shops downtown and they recommended that we visit Chilkoot Lake to see eagles and bears. We did see eagles, we did not see bears. But they also said it was the most beautiful place in the area, and from what we saw, they were right! No pictures of the eagles, there was not enough contrast to see them on camera. But WOW was it cool to watch him glide. Beautiful, yes?

Oh and we did go to Chilkat, too. There is a viewing station there where you can supposedly see a couple of nearby glaciers. But it was so overcast that we couldn’t really see anything, we just beat the rain home.
