Haines is such a beautiful place that we planned our trip so that we could stay there again for a few days. The surrounding mountains and glaciers, clean aqua water, abundant wildlife and friendly people make it a really special place. Late yesterday afternoon after traveling along the river to see the grizzlies and eagle fish for salmon we rounded a curve to see an especially vivid rainbow. I'll post closer photos of the rainbow in my Alaska gallery but I especially liked the way the distant mountains were lit by the sun and rainbow.
