Ferry System Acquaints
Tourists With Haines Hiway
Until last summer, when the
new' Alaska ferry system
“opened up” southeastern Al
aska to motorists, one of
North America’s least known
roads was the Haines Highway.
This route, also called the
Haines Cutoff, is now familiar
to tens of thousands of ferry
riding visitors. They know it
as the exciting 159-mile ac
cessway northwest from the
ferry port of Haines to the Al
aska Highway.
To utilize this road, travelers
first route themselves by car
to Prince Rupert, British Co
lumbia. Then they sail aboard
one of Alaska’s big. fast new
ferry-liners through the South
eastern Alaska panhandle. Fi
nally they drive off their vessel
at Haines and head for the Al
aska Highway and interior Al
aska.
In the process they bypass
more than 600 miles of travel
along the Alaska Highway.
However, it’s not what you
bypass, say Alaskans, but what
you gain, that makes this route
so desirable.
For one thing you gain the
opportunity for a circle itiner
ary—of taking the ferry-Haines
Highway trip one direction, the
famed and ever-popular Alaska
I
Highway trip the other. Too,
you gain a thirty hour cruise
aboard the sleek ships of Alas
ka's ferry-liner fleet, with ihe
option of stopping off at a n y
port along the way at no addi
tional charge.
Third, you gain the fun of
exploring the Haines Highway
itself —• a mountain-rimmed,
mostly gravel but well com
pacted roadway second to none
other anywhere for rugged
northland frontier beauty.
Now comes the news that for
the first time Canada, like tne
State of Alaska, will keep
their portion of the Haines
Highway open in wintertime.

festival, or any other or a:
aska’s winter whing-dings may
sample southeastern Alaska on
the way.
The highway itself traverses
high plateau country carved
originally by the comings end
goings of ancient glaciers.
Ringed with white mountains
and covered with snow, the
area is at its best in winter- j
time, say travelers who’ve
made the trip in all seasons.
