These furs were then traded with the Russians and other Europeans for various trade items. My family and I still render and trade this oil today, so I can give an account of this process and history. Also included in this package is a scenic tour or Haines and a history of every significant building in Haines and Fort district. At 27 Mile we turn off the black-top to see the fantastic Kelsall Valley, with five wonderful glaciers to view, either separately or at one location together for a photographers paradise. Moose are more abundant in this valley because of its immense size and its marshlands.
Black bear are also more common due to terrain and road access.
This off-highway experience is spectacular in that it climbs to an elevation of nearly 3,000 feet, where clients can look down on the huge expanse of both the Kelsall and Chilkat Valleys. Tax not included.
