The town of Haines, located at the base of the Chilkat Peninsula, is the ancestral home to the Tlingit people. Tlingits were the first settlers to the area and called Haines "Dei-shu" meaning "The End of the Trail". The area is still rich with Tlingit culture and history. Haines is home to the first established US Military Base, Fort William H. Seward, which is over 100 years old.
Haines has the largest annual gathering of American bald eagles. Many tours in Haines often see a variety of wildlife, including eagles, bears and wolves. Haines tours such as the Alaska Nature & Wildlife Expedition and the Eagle Preserve Scenic Float Adventure are just a few of the popular tours Haines has to offer.
