Welcome to Haines, Alaska

The was our first visit to Haines.  We went on an excursion from the ship to the Kroschel Wildlife Refuge.  To say the wildlife center was a little rustic and excentric would be understating it.  They have done this on purpose to get away from any kind of zoo feeling.

  It was really worth going to and we saw some animals we had never seen before in person like caribou and grey wolves
