The ferry landed at Haines at about 4:15am, so I was on my way well before five. Haines seemed pretty boring so I didn't wait around for anything to open. Just North of town there is a lake where Bald Eagles hunt. There must have been at least 100 eagles there at one time. It was incredible. I stopped and watched them hunt for awhile. I got to the border about 6a, unfortunately the border doesn't open until 7am.

After waiting for the BC border to open I drove a couple hours to Kluane National Park in the Yukon Territory, Canada. I went for a short hike up to Rock Glacier, which is (strangely enough) a rock glacier as opposed to an ice glacier. The hike wasn't very challenging, but I needed to get out of the car. I did see some bear tracks that couldn't have been much more than an hour old, no bears though. I stopped for lunch in Destruction Bay which is on Lake Kluane.

After many more hours of driving I saw lightning ahead, so I stopped to put the top up. Within five minutes of starting back up I was in some of the hardest rain I'd ever seen. I'd been planning on camping at Wrangell-St. Elias National Park (the nations largest national park), but the campsites didn't look that inviting in the storm, so I opted to continue on after looking around.

I found a great campsite in King Mountain State park, which is about 80 miles from Anchorage. The camp site is on the river, under King Mountain. The view is great, even now in the broad daylight at 12:30am! It never gets dark here!
