The natural beauty of this valley is what ultimately drew me and has kept me here. 

I love that I can walk a few minutes from my home and be surrounded by jaw-dropping beauty. I believe the benefits of this cabin will far outweigh any of the negatives. 

With both land and water access this cabin will provide local families the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful part of the canal year-round. It allows our elders and those of us who have limited mobility the chance to camp.  

As a mother of two teenagers, I can tell you that Haines can feel very small and confining in the winter.  Having this cabin will provide a safe and healthy opportunity for our youth to get outside and enjoy this amazing piece of beauty. 

I am so grateful for all of the work that Haines Huts has done for our community, especially the wonderful Tukga Hut.  Let’s continue this forward momentum by making this amazing place we all call home more accessible to all.  

Here’s to more cabins and trails in the Chilkat Valley!
