Weather

Haines embraces the four seasons so in the summer expect rain but hope for sun at some point during your stay and in the winter you will see snow, enough to get the winter toys out. Our summer has long daylight hours but our winters are dark. Plan accordingly when it comes to dressing for your visit, prepare for nature's own plan and bring layers. Layers are key for any season; t-shirt, sweatshirt or fleece, waterproof outer layer and sturdy waterproof footwear. The skies are generally more overcast than clear, but that can change in a moment's notice!
