Haines Highway

Haines Highway joins the town of Haines with Haines Junction in the Yukon Territory. This route was first used by the Chilkat Indians, but then it became a packhorse trail to the Klondike goldfields. The U.S. Army adopted the highway as an access road during World War II. This highway is surrounded by a lush coastal rainforest along the way up to the St. Elias mountains.
