Haines Road from Haines AK to Haines Junction YT
26 May 2013 - Sunday
Woke to clear blue skies! The night was quiet except for the Willow Ptarmigan cackling now and then. A beautiful spot to wake up, surrounded by mountains and quiet!
Overnight camp spot
The surrounding scenery was spectacular. Perfect spot to walk with the dogs before heading out.
View to the south
The Willow Ptarmigan continued to watch us closely.

Back on the Haines Highway we decided to backtrack to Three Guardsmen Pass so I could get some shots with the beautiful blue sky as a backdrop!
Looking to the west near Haines Summit
Glave Peak looked very different than when we saw it in early
March.
This time, more rock and no skiers!
Southbound towards Glave Peak, one of the three peaks at Three
Guardsmen
Did a U-turn and headed northward towards home.
White snow and blue skies, beautiful!
Southbound on the Haines Highway
The valley with Kelsall Lake is a favourite spot of ours. Again, beautiful!
Kelsall Lake is in the valley to the right
Soon we left British Columbia and entered Yukon. It wasn't long before we saw some traffic ...

The scenery is endless, in every direction.

Heading northward there is a great view of Dezadeash Lake, which was still frozen.

In spots without ice, the lake colour was brilliant!

It was warm! There is a pull-out alongside the Kathleen River and we stopped to enjoy the afternoon. Steve went fishing. I poked around with the camera.

Steve caught a nice fish for lunch. I captured some shots of a pair of Barrows Goldeneye birds on the Kathleen River while ice floated by.

Back on the road, heading north into Haines Junction.
Kluane Ranges to the left and Haines Junction in the middle
Water levels were high approaching Haines Junction.

It was a fun weekend. Very enjoyable meandering on the Haines
Highway. Not much traffic either, even though there was a beer
festival in Haines.
I'm sure we'll be back soon!
