Carl is the man! Did his guide's choice route (1st attempt for him, discounted for the guests) and it's evolved into an annual trip for Expeditions Alaska called "Heart of the Park". It's not a featured one on the website, so do some digging to find it. Hugely worthwhile trip, slightly easier logistics than others in Wrangell because the bush plane takeoff is closer to Anchorage than his McCarthy options. I'm also odd and loved the mix of day trips + backpacking that this route offers. Fingers crossed we will be back in 2024. No idea what we will choose. Maybe we can find a route that gets a glimpse of Mt. St Elias itself

This trip delivered exactly what I hoped for, an amazing opportunity to photograph bald eagles in a nature setting. I was concerned about the remote location and travel arrangements, especially the ferry from Juneau to Haines, but it all worked out well. The Aspen Suites hotel in Haines was awesome. I was surprised to find such space & comfort and the ability to prepare and store my own food in this otherwise very small, remote town. Our trip leader Carl was reliable, knowledgeable and responsive to our needs and requests. He had a quirky, humorous, friendly demeanor that added to the trip. The interactions with other photographers at the shoot site was another unexpected bonus. A very friendly attitude prevailed with much courtesy toward each other as we shared limited space to shoot from. I strongly recommend this trip to any photographer who desires an out-of-the-box experience from what they have in their home ground.

The bald eagle tour in Haines Alaska was an incredible experience. The access to the eagles on the Chilkat Valley River was absolutely incredible! I actually have no words. Many photographs were taken - thank go for digital!!! Our group was small - the conversations and laughter too much fun. Marmite still is the best!! Carl is very knowledge of the eagles and their behaviors which I appreciated. I will be definitely be looking for another tour with Expeditions Alaska next year sometime.
