Haines Highway - Valley of the Eagles
Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, AK

This is a state-managed facility of 48,000 acres. It comprises about 50 percent of the immediate byway corridor. The preserve hosts 400 bald eagles year round and over 3,500 eagles during the fall/winter congregation with the premier viewing sites along the highway. Two high-quality interpretive sites called the Council Grounds are located within the preserve and are linked by an interpretive trail along the Chilkat River.
