The wild Yukon awaits – hear it calling. On this active adventure tour we set out to hike the most rewarding trails of the Southern Lakes and Kluane National Park, rafting the spectacular Tatshenshini River.
On our first hiking tour on scenic trails we will be overlooking the grand Southern Lakes. The following days we will spend exploring hiking trails in Kluane National Park and Reserve which may be Canada’s best kept secret when it comes to spectacular natural wonders.
Kluane is part of the Kluane / Wrangell-St. Elias / Glacier Bay / Tatshenshini-Alsek UNESCO World Heritage Site, which falls in both Canada and the United States. The area is the largest non-polar icefield and is home to some of the longest and most spectacular glaciers in the world. Kluane has 25+ hiking trails with terrain ranging from moraine to rugged mountains to glaciers to alpine plateau, at various levels of difficulty.
Over 2,000 glaciers—some a kilometer thick—call the area home. About 4 percent of them surge; that means water forms between rock and ice, enabling the glacier to move more than a mile in a month. Canada’s highest mountain, Mount Logan (19,551 feet), is located in the middle of the park. In fact, very little of the park is accessible by road. To really experience Kluane National Park, you need to hike. The Tatshenshini River runs through beautiful landscape on the outskirts of Kluane National Park giving us a fun-packed rafting day.
