We woke up in Haines and I looked out the front window of the Pilot to see mountains outlined by the colors of the sunrise. The orange and pink hadn't yet taken over, and a silvery grey blue color of the sky still reflected off the lake. We were parked on a hill just above the boat launch, so we had a good view. I got out of the Pilot and walked down the bank we were parked next to, all the way down to the river that fed from the lake, and soaked in the outdoors. Ducks were riding along in the current, dodging the rocks that stuck up here and there. Swainsons Thrushes trilled from somewhere in the trees across the water, which bubbled along making music of its own.
It was a great start to the day. At first I thought it was going to be the only good part about the day, because we had a hard time finding any place open for breakfast, but we ended up with some delicious breakfast burritos from a great little cafe attached to a little market. We even had great luck finding a place to stay for the the night! We ended up stumbling upon some neat little rental cabins on the way to Battery Point, which was also a cool hike. The whole area was super cool! Green, mossy forest, with little streams here and there... It was beautiful. I definitely wouldn't mind going back.
