Fairbanks to Haines

We made the trip from Fairbanks to Haines to get on the ferry for the Juneau, Wrangell and Prince Rupert inside passage. When we left Fairbanks, we left cell service behind. It was a quiet two days. The first picture is of the White River. Look and try to see the big wide river flowing in the picture.

We stayed in a Canadian National park for the night and went on to Haines Junction. Haines Junction is just where the Alaskan Canadian Highway and the road to Haines intersect. Due to the lack of any towns in hundreds and hundreds of miles, the intersections are named and talked about as if they were towns. Kathleen Lake is the name of the amazing park we stayed in for the next two nights. The second day was a hike up the mountain near the campground. Here are the pictures of the lake from ground level, 2,200 feet, and the top of the mountain, 4,700 feet.
