Explore the Haines by Bike

This is a Haines lodge based tour that explores the dramatic landscape of our glacial fjords and the appropriately named Valley of the Eagles. This tour is usually custom built based on participant’s riding objectives. The dramatic glaciation events of the Southeast Alaska have allowed the area’s wetlands, valleys and aquatic habitats to thrive. The Tongass Rainforest towers over the braided glaciated rivers that the Atlantic salmon spawn in late into year. The Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve is home to hundreds of resident eagles, bears and moose and the pristine, emerald-green Chilkoot Lake is a must see destination. 

Haines offers many miles of low traffic, scenic, road riding. Additional riding options include dirt roads and trails, and fat biking on river flats and trails. Check out our Day Tours page for some daily ride options in Haines. Kayak, hiking, fishing, rafting, and pack rafting tours can also be arranged and added on to one of your day rides.
