Kluane National Park

Stretching across 8,500 square miles, Kluane National Park contains year-round frozen lakes, alpine forests, meadows and tundra and is home to Canada’s tallest peak – Mount Logan at 18,500 ft. The combination of striking scenery and abundant wildlife (grizzly bears, Dall sheep, moose, wolves and mountain goats) make it one of the most attractive destinations in the Yukon wilderness. If you've ever imagined standing amidst a sweeping landscape of mountain valleys carved by glaciers and sprinkled with alpine wildflowers, you will get to live your dream in Kluane National Park. An icon of North America and the centrepiece of the Kluane region in Yukon, Kluane National Park is one of Canada’s natural treasures and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1979 making it part of the largest internationally protected wilderness area in the world.

Buried in ice 1.5 km deep, Mount Logan is surrounded by the expansive St. Elias Icefields. Glaciers 100-km long flow down Kluane’s broad sweeping valleys. For most visitors, a flightseeing tour is the way to view these magnificent rivers of ice. Kluane’s vast backcountry and frothing rivers are among the world’s top wilderness adventure destinations. Raft the Alsek River, hike the Cottonwood Trail or paddle Kathleen Lake. Yukon adventure companies offer all kinds of memorable day trips to suit wide-ranging interests and abilities. Activities include canoeing, nature walks, rafting, fishing, flightseeing, horseback riding, mountain biking and hiking.
