Another gray, drizzly day but with a pretty sunrise. Continued down the Haines Hwy and stopped at Million Dollar Falls on the Takhanne River.  Hiked down the steep stairs into the gorge to view the spectacular falls; unfortunately, the view points were so restricted that there was no way to get a picture that did justice to the splendor.

The drive through the Chilkat Pass was spectacular even with the rain and fog. Stopped at the Dalton Cache, AK US Customs House to view the original trading post built by Jack Dalton in 1896. Continued along the Chilkat River into Haines and camped at the Haines Hitch-Up RV Park, one of the best maintained commercial parks we have stayed at , it’s obvious that the owners take great pride in the park’s appearance.
