Reviews of Kluane National Park and Reserve (Tourist Attraction)

ReiseRocker

(Translated) The Kluane National Park is a Canadian national park founded in 1976 in the southwest of the Yukon with an area of 22,016 km². The highest mountain in the country belongs to it: Mount Logan (5959 m). 82 percent of its area is covered by the Kluane Icefield and the glaciers it feeds. Kluane Lake borders the national park in the northeast. The park is the fourth largest in Canada and the largest in the Yukon. Large parts were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. It was not until the late 1890s that the Yukon classic car Jack Dalton made a trail that was also suitable for pack horses. You should definitely take two days for the journey, the route is simply overwhelming: At the Chilkat Pass, the highest point is reached at 1065 meters. Here you have the grandiose panorama of the glaciated Takhinsha Mountains. The Kathleen Lake is 20 km southeast of Haines Junction. The Haines Highway (Yukon Highway 3) runs not far from the east bank of the lake. Kathleen Lake is located in the far east of the Kluane National Park and Reserve of Canada. The lake is at an altitude of 754 m. It has a length of 10 km and a maximum of 7 km wide. It is drained by the Kathleen River, a tributary of the Dezadeash River, on the east bank of the lake. The Kokanee salmon, a subspecies of the sockeye salmon, lives in Kluane Lake, this species never migrates into the oceans but spends its entire life in fresh water and it has not yet been found out why that is so.

Zu ihm gehört der höchste Berg des Landes: Der Mount Logan (5959 m). 82 Prozent seiner Fläche sind vom Kluane Icefield und den von diesem gespeisten Gletschern bedeckt. Im Nordosten grenzt der Kluane Lake an den Nationalpark. Der Park ist der viertgrößte in Kanada und der größte im Yukon. Große Teile sind 1979 von der UNESCO zum Weltnaturerbe erklärt worden. Erst Ende der 1890er Jahre machte der Yukon-Oldtimer Jack Dalton einen Trail der sich auch für Packpferde eignete. Für die Fahrt sollte man auf jeden Fall zwei Tage Zeit nehmen, die Strecke ist einfach überwältigend: Am Chilkat Pass ist mit 1065 Metern der höchste Punk erreicht. Hier hat man das grandiose Panorama der vergletscherten Takhinsha Mountains vor sich. Der Kathleen Lake liegt 20 km südöstlich von Haines Junction. Der Haines Highway (Yukon Highway 3) verläuft unweit des Ostufers des Sees. Der Kathleen Lake befindet sich im äußersten Osten der Kluane National Park and Reserve of Canada. Der See liegt auf einer Höhe von 754 m. Er hat eine Länge von 10 km und ist maximal 7 km breit. Er wird vom Kathleen River, einem Nebenfluss des Dezadeash River, am Ostufer des Sees entwässert. Im Kluane Lake lebt der Kokanee Lachs eine Unterart des Sockeye Lachs, diese Art wandert niemals in die Ozeane sondern verbringt ihr ganzes Leben im Süßwasser und man hat bis heute nicht herausgefunden warum das so ist.

Just such an amazing looking place. Great camping spots with tones of hiking worth doing no matter which.

Great national park. very distinctive.

Joe Traveler

Beautiful park, crystal clear lakes and rivers. Lush forrest. Much more wild than US parks the Canadians know how to do National parks. Lookout for wildlife this is bear country. Plenty of rarely used trails. No hand guns or bear spray in Canada so make noise as you hike to avoid.

Denise Barlock

Beautiful area. While we were there the wind was high and the sand was really blowing. It was quite fascinating. Interesting place to visit.

I had a great time camping and seeing the Kluane National Park. My dog also was invited to attend the nature talk. Staff were very friendly and many of the locals came to the visitor center talk. Great views, and clean camp sites.

Murray Lundberg

Though access isn't easy, the park is absolutely superb. Many hiking trails accessed from both the Alaska Highway and Haines Highway, and flightseeeing from either Burwash Landing or Silver City is beyond-words incredible.

leslie veenstra

Beautiful, vast and an excellent reason why we need these places to stay wild and untouched as much as possible

Ken Heaton

Amazing. A flight over the glaciers and snowy peaks of the Saint Elias Mountains is something you must experience.

Tianna Notenbomer

Visitor Centers were great and had great service. Two Parks Canada employees that stood out because of their helpfulness and passion was Rachel and Logan. Thanks guys!

Nik Crawford

We hiked parts of the Auriol range (backcountry) and Slim's River West (daytrip) in 2017. As far as mountains go, this park has great examples thereof. Beware of area closures for bear activity when planning you trip. We planned to backpack the Slim's River West route, but grizzly activity closed it beyond the Sheep Mtn Trail. So we backpacked into the Auriols closer to Haines Junction, set base camp on the grassy moraine, and made excursions into the range from there. The park is well organized, the visitor centre is impressive and educational, and the park staff are incredibly knowledgeable. They provided great insight when we were deciding on a new backpacking route and their reference maps helped greatly. If you ever find yourself in Whitehorse, I highly suggest making the trip over to Kluane.

(Translated) Superb park, superb landscapes! There are plenty of hikes for all levels, from the simplest to the most complicated, taking place over several days. You can stay at Haines Junction for easy access. I recommend the King's Throne hike which offers a superb view of Kathleen Lake and the surrounding area. (Original) Superbe parc, superbes paysages !

Amazing place ! I really recommend to take a trip by small plane above the mountain. The views are breathtaking. And the price it very worth that time . I was before high season - middle of May and there was no problemem with places in the plane. The most imporstat for that is weather - not so many clouds- then it is possilbe to sea all of peaks ;)

Plenty of picturesque mountains. What I like about this place is there isn't as much people compared to parks like Jasper and Banff, so you get to enjoy a more solitary outdoor experience.

(Translated) In the Yukon Territory, and specifically in Kluane National Park, we can see mountain goats, very elusive, like these, which are seldom so clearly discovered. Despite its name, the wild mountain goat is not a real goat; in fact, it is the only genus and species. of its kind in the world. It is found only in the northwest of North America, its closest relatives are not domestic goats, but chamois from Europe and goral and serow from Asia. (Original) Al territori del Yukon, i concretament al parc nacional de Kluane, podem veure les cabres muntanyenques, molt esquives, com aquestes, que poques vegades es deixen descobrir tan clarament. Malgrat el seu nom, la cabra de muntanya salvatge no és una autèntica cabra; de fet, és l'únic gènere i espècie. del seu tipus al món. Es troba només al nord-oest d'Amèrica del Nord, els seus parents més propers no són les cabres domèstiques, sinó els isards d'Europa i el goral i el serow d'Àsia.

Kluane National Park and Reserve are two units of Canada's national park system in the southwest corner of the territory of Yukon. It is near the Alaskanborder. Kluane National Park Reserve was established in 1972, covering 22,013 square kilometres (8,499 square miles). The Reserve includes the highest mountain in Canada, Mount Logan (5,959 metres or 19,551 feet) of the Saint Elias Mountains. Mountains and glaciers dominate the park's landscape, covering 83% of its area. The rest of the land in the park is forest and tundra—east of the largest mountains and glaciers—where the climate is colder and drier than in the western and southern parts of the park. Trees grow only at the park's lowest elevations. The primary tree species are white spruce, balsam poplar and trembling aspen. A day-use area with boat launch, picnic facilities and campground is located at Kathleen Lake, and is operated from mid-May to mid-September. Hiking is a popular activity on trails such as St. Elias Lake, Mush Lake Road, Shorty Creek, Cottonwood, Rock Glacier, King's Throne, Kokanee, Auriol, Dezadeash River Trail, Alsek Trail, Sheep Creek Trail, Bullion Plateau Trail, Slims West or Soldiers Summit. Rafting on the Alsek River(a Canadian Heritage river), mountain bikingon old mining roads, horseback riding through the Alsek Pass, boating on Kathleen Lake and Mush Lake as well as fishing for lake trout, Arctic grayling, rainbow trout, northern pikeand sockeye salmon are also among activities available in the park.

A beautiful spring drive to Haines from Fairbanks. We saw lots of wildlife, even a porcupine walking south using the correct side of the road! He didn’t seem to mind being passed by a truck pulling a trailer loaded with dog boxes and 21 dogs.

Chris Spindler

Stunning scenery. Beautiful park. Awesome hikes. Knowledgeable and informative campfire presentation program.

IEatTravelWrite

Absolutely beautiful! Loved the scenery as I drove by. I wish I could spend more time here. I really loved Kathleen lake and the fact that there's no service in many areas so that I'm able to disconnect. I would definetely love to visit again.

What looks here as an ice road for 50-foot-tall truckers is really Kaskawulsh Glacier in Canada's Kluane National Park. This corner of the Yukon is home to the largest ice field on Earth outside of the poles, with the slow, steady flow of more than 2,000 glaciers continually carving these vast canyons amid the peaks. Speaking of peaks, glance up and you'll see the Yukon is also a paradise for mountain lovers. And Kluane is its pinnacle, literally. Located within the park is Mount Logan, the highest mountain in Canada (and second-highest on the continent after Alaska's Denali). ©️bing.com

Doh Lau

Beautiful mountains!!!! And lakes!!! Lots of hiking trails and if time is not a problem, driving in the mountains will offer great drives and views.

Desmond Hedderson

If you're planning a trip in northern Canada this place is probably the greatest stop that you can make. Kluane park is beautiful, and easy to getting from Whitehorse if you're looking for a place to fly into. The hiking here is top notch, the nearby town of Haines junction is absolutely beautiful and has all the services that you'll need.

Robert Carpenter

Flat and an easy hike.

Magical. Part of the world's largest protected track of land, a UN designated world heritage site, and as far as I'm concerned, the North Eastern part of the center of the universe.
