Returning to the Alaskan Highway at Tok we turned South through Burwash, to Haines Jct. There we took the 145 mile Haines Highway to the end of the road…Haines. Haines was the next to last stop in Alaska and for me it was the best ! More about that later…. The Haines Highway is a good paved road that winds its way Southeast following and crossing many creeks and rivers. It passes through Aspen, Sitka and Black Spruce forests, but most of it is above the tree line. The high point is Chilkat Pass 3500 feet, much of the road before and after the pass winds across tundra and 
ancient glacial moraine. We were lucky when we went down the road and returned it was peak autumn foliage. Yellow Aspens, mosses, fireweed and many other plants added their colors to the spectacular scene…topped off by fresh snow on the mountains.
