The area around Haines is teeming with both on- and off-trail hiking opportunities. Whether you are looking for a coastal trail hike over rolling terrain, weaving in and out of the forest and onto the beaches of the Chilkat Peninsula, or a trip that will take you into the backcountry and true Alaskan wilderness, you will find it in Haines. Maybe you are looking to gain some elevation and experience truly unique views of the fjord around Haines. Our day trips up Mt. Ripinsky and Mt. Riley are great options. Their summits will offer unparalleled views of the fjord, the town of Haines, and, on a clear day, may let you get a peek of Mt. Fairweather nearly 80 miles away. If you are looking for a little less strenuous hike, the trails on Battery Point or Seduction Point offer rolling terrain along the coast with great opportunities to see marine mammals and experience our temperate rainforest environment.
