Chilkat State Park

Best kept campground near Haines! Clean and well kept sites, clean bathrooms. Sites are mostly pull through with some back in. Road can be a bit rough but I had no problems at all with my 27' RV. Nice hikes and forested area nearby. Boat launch nearby and some good swimming if you don't mind some colder water. I was surprised but the water had very little salt from the ocean.  Campground hosts were friendly and welcoming...I am looking forward to returning next year!

Nice park, great hosts and super clean bathrooms! The only thing I would say is an awful lot of people drive thru the campground (fast)! Beautiful place 😎

Must go if you have time for a short visit surrounding of Haines AK. The photo opps are unlimited.

The park is 5 stars. The road is 1 star. Do not drive it with a motor home or trailer over 20 feet long.

Hike to Moose Meadows is easy, through forest to Rocky cove, round trip is 1.5 hours.

Lower Reid Falls

Relatively short hike to the falls from the gold rush cemetery. Pretty easy overall but you get a pretty and up close view of the waterfall and a nice walk through the forest.  I walked all the way from town and that took a while but if you catch a shuttle over it's quite reasonable to do.

Nice easy trail that takes you through a historic Cemetery and rail road. We were on a cruise ship and easily walked from the port to the falls. I recommend bug spray as we were there early in the season (end of April) and the mosquitoes were already buzzing around us.

These falls were gorgeous. It’s a quick walk through the cemetery that’s right behind the rail yard. Tour companies bring people here, but you can easily check it out yourself. It’s a short, easy walk. I carried a toddler in my arms the whole way. Check it out.

The falls is beautiful.  Do spray Off before going if you don't want to become mosquitoes' lunch.

Very pleasant walk a short distance from Downtown ending in a beautiful waterfall experience.

Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve

If you love birds, especially owls and hawks, then this’s the place to go and see. If you like to learn about animals then again this’s the place to check out.

It is worthwhile  only between  late October  to early December during the salmon run. I saw more eagles in Haines Town than in the reserve in late August

Took the float river trip through here in September. Saw tons of bald eagles. Really pretty area and a great excursion.

We took a rafting trip through this remote area.  There are many eagles to view.

If you like bald eagles or owls. If you like learning about wildlife in the area. Then this’s the place for you.

Angel Rocks Trailhead

Enjoyed this hike!  Beautiful along the Chema River and the the views from the top. Definitely not for novices due to the elevation gain ( 750 feet in approximately 1 mile), the tricky train with rocks and roots and the myriad of trail options at the top.  Tons of mushrooms! Beautiful but mostly not edible.

Gorgeous trail begins by walking along a crystal clear, gurgling, fork of the Chena River. As the trail turns to boardwalk it begins the gradual assent. After a mile it does get steeper but not too difficult and the view from the top is spectacular, so keep going until you arrive at the “granite tors”. (You can hike the full 8 miles to the hot springs and shuttle back or go up and back.)

This hiking trail is stunning. The most breathtaking view awaits you at the peak.

A really great trail to explore. The parking area is right off Chena Hot Springs Rd. There was plenty of parking. It's a 5 dollar fee at a self paying station. The trail starts off walking along the river. Then comes to a boardwalk that starts your climb up the mountain. Everytime you think your at the top of the rocks you see more. You'll know your at the top after you go through a small cave of rocks. The views are spectacular. Especially in early to mid September when the leaves are changing colors.

A great trail.  First mile is flat and easy but it was raining today and there qas a ton of standing water on the trail so hiking boots are a necessity under wet conditions.

Miller's Landing

Myself and my spouse, Bryan stayed at a vacation rental offered by the Miller's in November over the Thanksgiving holiday in Seward Alaska and honestly, I cannot say enough about how gracious the Miller's were, how beautiful the home itself was that we stayed in, how beautiful and breathtaking the views were no matter the time of day, the environment as a whole was just phenomenal and I just have to say that I cannot wait to go back, we both can't wait.
Thank you to the Miller's for sharing their slice of heaven on earth with us! It was much appreciated.
Bryan and Brandi

Fantastic weekend at Miller's Landing! I stayed at the Ocean Front Inn suite. It's perfect for a couple of friends or a small family that doesn't need a lot of room. The view is spectacular and there is a BBQ with a covered deck. Millers Landing helped me book a last minute shore fishing trip with Mason. He was excellent. I'll be back!

We stayed on the campground and I will be gracious and not give a review.  This review is for my fishing charter with Capt Dustin and Quin. I had a great full day fishing with these two.  All six of us on the boat limited out on all our targeted species plus lots of extra fish. These two know how and where to fish.  I was at the resort the next 2 days and watched the boats come in each night.  Dustin and Quin out-fished all the other Captains every night.  I would request Dustin and Quin exclusively when coming to Millers Landing.

I have been taking trips down to Seward and staying at Millers Landing for 5 years now. I have tent camped, RV camped, and booked multiple cabins and beach front properties. I have taken a couple of their guided kayaking adventures, and my husband has gone with friends on their charters the past two years. This year we booked their Bridal Venue (technically we booked it last year) for our wedding ceremony. The whole experience was a dream...the rain not joining us until after the ceremony helped. We did have one minor issue, but once I addressed it, not only did the event coordinator handle it, but I was also contacted by both owners who personally ensured the matter was understood and taken care of. We love the location, the attentiveness of the captains and charter crew, the event coordination, and now have a new respect for the owners of this amazing get-away spot in Alaska. They are kind, gracious, and attentive. We will ALWAYS use Millers Landing for our Seward adventures!

Amazing paddle trip! So much to see and the seals showed up to entertain us. Mitch and Aleura were fantastic guides who provided top notch service and knowledge of the glaciers. Always felt safe and they were really friendly. Would really recommend if u are up for a long kayak ride with nature!!

Girdwood Town Square

My son lived here for four years, just up Hightower from the Town Square area. Got to see the area in July, 2019 when these pictures were taken. The streets are newly paved, and the Ski Inn renovated. The park is a quiet gem with great views once you get past the trees.

Just a good place to take showers get an amazing haircut grab something to eat and just sit and relax and soak up the beautiful view I wish I was there..in the summer you can hike the mountain just up the street..do yourself a favor and go have fun!

Not much to see. There is a general store, a post office, a coffee shop and not much else. What's there is fine. Not worth a detour.

Denali RV Park & Motel

Ended up at Denali RV after a really long day of travel. We were greeted by a very friendly front desk person who let me know they had spots available… yay! We had made reservations for a “B” camp spot at Riley Creek in Denali, but all the ones we tried were too tight, so we left. Found Denali RV which has full hook ups and my husband was easily able to back into our spot. Quite frankly, I think we will stay here from now on, we love having full hook-ups!

The park is in a really great area with a trailhead on site. However, it is very cramped, so having an extra set of eyes to spot for bigger rigs would help. They also had a really nice area to walk our dogs. The only reason it's not a 5 star stop is the sheer amount of vehicles parked all over the rv park, making it difficult to maneuver our 5th wheel through.

We stayed in the campground with our RV caravan group (Adventure Caravans). It was a perfect location and the staff here was very helpful! They also have a staff member who will walk your dogs (for a fee) if you're gone for a full day.

Was a bit disappointed to learn for our four days we would not have sewer hook-ups after told all sites we had had full hook-ups.
Dartha was excellent, professional and very social . Park is nice, clean laundry and restrooms,but along main hwy and trucks drove past all hours of the night waking us up.

We drive a 40 ft class A with a tow. A little tight to back into and pull out of camping spots. Nice view,  and not too far from Denali entrance. Okay water pressure and 30 amp.

Alaska Bear Adventures

We booked 6 months in advance and the Gods were in our favor! Our guide/pilot Alec was kind knowledgeable and patient! As soon as we landed we were greeted by a mama bear and 3 cubs. The weather was beautiful 60 and sunny! Definitely plan your trip according to fish run schedule! Eat before you go as NO food on the trail, food can be stashed in food cache at Ranger station. Also was a little buggy so I recommend a bug net, not sure bug spray did anything. We highly recommend Alaska Bear Adventure!

This was by far the best experience I had in my 10 days in Alaska.  It is pricey, but it's definitely a once in a lifetime experience.  Within 5-10 minutes of walking we had 2 bears walk right in front of us and moments later we were 20 feet away from a momma bear fishing for her adorable two cubs.  AJ was our pilot/guide and he was knowledgeable, respectful, and a joy to talk to.  I never felt unsafe the whole time even with bears a few feet from us.  When the trip on the ground was over, there was one other cool surprise, on the way back, we flew right next to the active volcano and got to see the vent that was creating all the steam above the glacier right next to the bay where we walked around.  Everything about the experience was amazing.  I would wear water resistant clothing, you do hike around in some deep mud, so warmth was no problem for me, but definitely dress in layers depending on weather!

This was truly a once in a lifetime day. Landing on a remote beach in Katmai was so much better than fighting people for a view at Brooks Falls. Zach was an amazing pilot and super knowledgeable about the park, the bears and many other things. It was a magical day!!!

What an unexpected amazing adventure. The flight over to Karmai was beautiful. Had a blue bird day and was able to fly through the mountain passes. Landed on the the beach and got to walk with in 40 feet of over a dozen brown bears.  AJ our pilot was a world class guide to the bears. Flight back was just as scenic. Definitely a complete experience from wheels up to wheels down.

FANTASTIC!!!  We thoroughly enjoyed our flight to Katmai, and had a blast observing the bears!  Alaska Bear Adventures was the right choice; they took great care of us, and every staff member was friendly and knowledgeable!

Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary

I cannot begin to describe the unbelievable visit we had at the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary.  Our family of 21 came to Kona to celebrate a big birthday and we had a private tour led by the founder’s daughter.  Not only did she entertain kids ranging from 6 to 14, but she also took the time to help create lasting, emotional memories that we will all carry forever.  We have visited Kona many times but this was our first visit to the Cloud Forest Sanctuary.  The forest is so beautiful that at times the flora and fauna looked fake!  If you have a few hours while visiting The Big Island,  be sure to visit this amazing treasure.

What a wonderful experience! We did a tour here, plus a sound bath, silent disco, and potluck. Such wonderful people. A fantastic space and a transformative experience. We appreciated the deep knowledge of Hawaii's history, the importance of cloud forests, and the interesting plants there. This is definitely a wonderful thing to do whether local or visiting!

Amazing tour at the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary. Our guide Sierra was so passionate and knowledgeable about every aspect of the sanctuary, from its start 40 years ago as barren grassland to the thriving forest sanctuary it is today. It is wild to think the plants and trees are only 40 years old or less! Beautiful guided walk through different areas of the sanctuary and learning about each area. Very informative and a beautiful experience in all. Highly recommend if you are visiting the Big Island.

Teryn was the best tour person we could have asked for. Her beautiful energy was palpable and she added so much more to our experience! Her passion for the sanctuary is remarkable and coupled w/ her knowledge, I would say this was one of my favorite parts of our honeymoon. Highly recommend! Wish I could give it more than 5 stars! And made me feel at peace knowing the history of how this started and hopeful for our future that there are souls out there protecting our earth ♥️

My children and I recently visited Hawaii for the first time.  Ten days in total with six on the Big Island.  Visiting the Kona Cloud Forest Preserve for 3 hours was my favorite activity of those six days.  The place was utterly fascinating.  Terri was my group's guide and she did a tremendous job explaining the ecology and hydrology of this unique forest type and how it was reforested from former pasture land over the past 40 to 50 years.  Terri had a solid working knowledge of the ethnobotany of the many plant species despite just a few months on the job.  Definitely, a place worth visiting.

Manoa Falls

$7 parking (cash or card) for non members of special groups (military etc…)

Beautiful hike, definitely a jungle. I went in the dry season and it was slightly muddy, can’t imagine how wet or muddy it will be during wet seasons. Definitely worth it. Beginner friendly.

The section that is the foot of the waterfall is officially closed off but people do ignore the signs and swim at the foot. Venture at your own risk.

Disappointing. The waterfall has been reduced to a trickle on the day we visited (10/15). Understandably the water flow varies depending on the weather, but why didn't the staff/parking attendant inform us of such? The actual hike itself, as always, was fun & scenic. You can expect to see some cool birds and trees, but not always a waterfall.

Parking is 7$ - credit card only
It’s a good hike - about 40 minutes average pace to go And 35 to come back
It’s rocky and must not the best place for your new white running shoes.

The falls are really nice

Good hike with continual rise in elevation. Worked up a good sweat.  Tips: wear good shoes. I wouldn't recommend bringing young kids. Bring water. PLEASE, PLEASE obey the signs and don't go over the edge into the water. I couldn't believe the slobs showing such disrespect.

Very nice short hike! Took about 2hrs, start to finish. Tennis shoes a must though we seen alot of flip flops (not suggested, very slippery). Great for kids and beautiful streams and of course the waterfall!
