Witness the Wonder:

Alaska Bald Eagle Festival 2026

Each November, the Chilkat Valley comes alive as countless Bald Eagles gather along the Chilkat River to feast on the late salmon run — one of nature’s most awe-inspiring wildlife events. Framed by snow-dusted peaks and pristine waters, the Valley of Eagles offers a front-row seat to this remarkable seasonal gathering.
