National park
Hiking area
Kluane National Park and Reserve is a natural haven that houses diverse wildlife and Canada's tallest peak, Mount Logan. The Mount Logan Lodge offers luxurious country accommodations with spacious rooms, a large deck with stunning mountain views, and unique lodging options like a Mongolian-style yurt and a retrofitted school bus. This UNESCO World Heritage site boasts massive icefields, glacial lakes, wild rivers, pristine forests, and North America's highest mountains.
This park is very challenging to access, but it is an absolute must visit if you're in this part of the Yukon Territory. The mountains here are some of the most beautiful mountains I've ever seen. The park also has very unique geology and tons of glaciers. To my knowledge, it's one of only two national parks in all of territorial Canada that you can drive to. Kluane NP is also the western-most point of Canada. The actual western-most point is on an icefield, but you can find the marker near Kathleen Lake.

If your visiting the Yukon, this Park is a must visit. Amazing drive, scenic around every winding bend. Silver city was a great stop along the way. Amazing to see the old log cabins still standing.
Jacob S — Google review
Visited Kluane recently on a day tour with Arctic Range. What a stunning, majestic national park! Totally deserves its UNESCO World Heritage status. And the drive from Whitehorse to Kluane seriously needs to be among the best road trips/drives in the world. We stopped along the frozen shores of Kathleen Lake for a picnic lunch and also saw a great panoramic view from Dezadeash Lake. We also visited Tombstone Territorial Park up north during the same Yukon trip, which provided a great contrast to Kluane. So glad we visited both of them to have a fuller taste of the Yukon's amazing landscape!

Mountain peak
Kings Throne Peak is a popular day hike in Kluane National Park, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and Kathleen Lake below. The trail starts at the Cottonwood trailhead and ascends through a forested area before emerging from the trees and zigzagging up the mountain. While many hikers choose to stop at the seat of the throne, more adventurous trekkers can continue to conquer the steep climb to reach the peak. Trekking poles are recommended for this challenging ascent.
Phenomenal! What a sense of accomplishment when we got to the top. It was a pretty cold, windy, and cloudy August day and we were ill prepared with only liner gloves. Nonetheless my 17-year-old son and I thoroughly enjoyed this challenge. Took us about 8 hours with lots of rest in between. Well worth it!
Eric W — Google review
King's Throne Peak in Kluane National Park offers a challenging 5 km hike. The trail starts at Kathleen Lake, ascending via switchbacks to a scenic cirque with views of the lake and Saint Elias Mountains. The hike takes 4-6 hours round trip. Bring bear spray, layers, and sturdy footwear.

it’s generally a good trail till you get to the bench, by then your real work has just begun. Upper part of the trail can be nasty with those loosen screeds on top you will be rewarded with views through by the way it was extremely windy when we did this hike
Cindy B — Google review
We stayed at the Kathleen lake campsite and decided to take on this hike on a whim. Very glad that we did. We came through in early September and the colors were absolutely amazing! The hike really has two phases; the first takes you to the bowl of the peak and is a decent hike with a great view, the second is the steep climb up the ridge to the top. The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking. I'd recommend this hike to anyone with the stamina to take it on.
Desmond H — Google review
Incredible hike. Not an easy one but definitely do-able if you want to challenge yourself.
Vincent M — Google review
Quite the scenery up there! Worth the climb :) Trekking pole are a must have if you want to go to the top ;) You can stop at the king throne plateau which is a mid-easy climb but if you have great endurance you can shoot for the peak! The hike from the plateau to the peak is not easy even during summer (did it in July) and the descent is even harder I would say but the view up there definitely make it up for it! Trail is easy to follow just quite steep after reaching kings throne first stop. Nota: the beginning of the trail is flat and easy but swarmed by mosquitos! I would advise to bring repelent and large clothes to avoid needless suffering ´cause they are ruthless 🥲
Franck B — Google review
Not an easy hike. Well worth the trouble. Gets steep and takes a long while to make it up there. Rocks can be loose. Choose your day wisely or you might get rained on! This took about 7 hours to complete and I consider myself an above average hiker.

King Peak is 10 miles west-southwest of mighty Mount Logan in the Canadian Yukon. King Peak is Logan’s satellite peak much as Foraker is Denali’s queen. While lower than Logan, King Peak is harder to climb than Logan. King Peak is the fourth highest peak in Canada and the ninth highest peak in North America.

Nares Mountain, located in Tombstone Territorial Park, offers a stunning and unique landscape. The trail provides breathtaking views of Carcross town, Bennett Lake, and Nares Lake. Despite its short length, the hike involves a significant 1000-meter elevation change, making it a challenging but rewarding trek suitable for all seasons. Accessible from the turnoff near kilometer 90 of the Dempster Highway, this area is known for its beautiful scenery and great hiking opportunities even during winter.

St Elias Lake is a hidden gem located within Kluane National Park and Reserve, offering a rewarding hiking experience suitable for families. The trail begins off the Haines Highway and takes hikers through lush boreal forests, sub-alpine valleys, and meadows filled with wildflowers in spring and summer. Wildlife sightings such as moose, beavers, loons, and mountain goats are possible along the way. The 7.
What a beautiful place! One of my favourite places that I've ever camped. Can't get over the hike in and the camp views. Felt safe ourselves. Had a family of porcupines there too! Lots of mosquitoes.
Shannon U — Google review
If your spending some time in Kluane National Park and Reserve then this hike is a great one to add to the list. Not too long, coming in at roughly 7.6km round trip, with an elevation gain of only about 120m. It’s a short day hike that would be pretty much suitable for the whole family. And if one gets really adventurous, St. Elias Lake is a frigid but refreshing dip on a hot summer’s day. There is also a nice little day use area/campsite area beside the lake.

Observation Mountain is a breathtaking destination nestled within Kluane National Park and Reserve, offering adventurers an unforgettable experience. This rugged area is part of a vast wilderness that spans across British Columbia and Alaska, encompassing around 110,000 square kilometers of pristine nature. The park features the glacial-fed Alsek River, which meanders through stunning landscapes filled with towering valleys and shifting ice floes.
Spectacular viewpoint of glaciers. The hike up there is quite steep. We had severe problems finding the way back down, so keep track of your path (start early therefore!).

I have no personal grievance with the mountain, but I find it baffling they couldn't find a more creative name for it. It's like calling a river 'flowing river' or a small, nondescript hill 'generic small hill'.

Miles Canyon, a recreational canyon formed 8.5 million years ago, offers stunning basalt cliffs, scenic trails, rushing rapids, and diverse wildlife. This historic site was once a challenging passage for gold seekers traveling from Skagway to the Yukon River in hopes of striking it rich. The area's significance is reflected in the development of the settlement known as Whitehorse due to the foaming waters resembling white steeds.

National park
The Auriol Trail is a popular choice for day hikers and beginners looking to explore the pristine wilderness of Kluane National Park. Located about seven kilometers southwest of Haines Junction, this subalpine path offers an easy introduction to the park's natural beauty. The trail starts on an old wagon road and does not go above tree level, but enthusiasts can extend their hike into the alpine area for a more challenging experience.
Trail is in great condition with just a few piles of snow left on the western portion near the top. Clockwise seems like the better direction of travel for the loop portion. Almost got turned around near the halfway point in the campground (started down a smaller game trail that want looking right) but retraced and stayed on the creek for a bit where trail was pretty easy to follow again. You eventually step out of the dry part of the creek bed where there is a hiker sign. Super easy to follow after that. The first half is double track, the second half single track (when going clockwise).
Joel D — Google review
Anyone who travels all the way up to the Yukon is likely going to want to see some of the natural splendour of the north. Kluane National Park is one of the gems of the Yukon Territory, and this trail leads hikers through the raw wonder of Canada’s boreal forest and sub-alpine areas towards the Auriol mountain range. Serious climbers can continue on to the mountains, but the trail itself offers enough to see for more casual hikers. While there are options for an overnight stay at a campground along the trail, should visitors want to sleep under the Yukon sky, the nine-mile (15k) walk can easily be completed in four to six hours. There are two sides to the loop – the left is less steep and makes for an easier walk but the right side has more viewpoints, so it’s recommended to start on the left and come back down along the right. Either way, there are lovely meadows, creeks and wetlands to see along the way.
Devy J — Google review
We walked the trail on May 26, 2023 - clockwise. There was lots of snow on the way down, and the strong, cold wind from the mountains almost blew us away.

Went in March 2021, started the hike around 11am, took us about 5h to do the loop. Right after the camping spot, there's a detour with the nicest 360 view of the park. Worth it. Good thing a group was before us to break the trail cause it would taken at least one more hour and a lot of energy Challenge done!

Jason M — Google review
The left stretch of the loop was quite muddy, and for about 100ft the creek invaded the hiking path (just below the campground). We did that stretch barefoot, icecold creek water! But worth it. Afterwards the right stretch of the loop was dry and really lovely.
Eva S — Google review
I give this 5 stars only after my second attempt. My first walk around the loop I thought I would be walking a 6k loop. I was much more psychologically able to handle the second attempt knowing I would be committed to 15k. The hike was cool, dude. I saw: -a bird -some berries -proof of moose -funky cheese stank -a child imitating a coyote Beautiful views of Mount Martha Black, but could use some Febreeze during the Fall.

While parking at the trailhead can be limited, it's recommended not to park on the road during winter due to snow plowing.

Sheep Mountain, located in the stunning Tombstone Territorial Park in Yukon, offers a challenging yet rewarding hiking experience. The trail spans over 10km and ascends nearly 500 meters in altitude, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. While the path can be tricky to navigate at times, hikers are treated to lush forests and sightings of Dall sheep along the slope.
A relatively easy hike with a great view of the valley that the kaskawulsh glacier used to occupy, though it has reversed to the distance, it is still visible. There are two view areas that are both essentially the same view, just one is at the 2km marker instead of the top, though the top of the trail is definitely worth it. It even has a little log to have lunch on at the top.

Nature & Wildlife Areas
Tombstone Territorial Park, often called the "Patagonia of the North," is a rugged state park located along the Dempster Highway. This park, which lies within the traditional territory of the First Nations community, offers dramatic rock formations, striking peaks, windswept tundra, and unique permafrost landforms. It is home to abundant wildlife and rare Beringian plant species. Hiking enthusiasts will find endless trails to explore amidst its majestic wildness and towering cliffs.
It was one of the most breathtaking places I've ever been in all of my travels. The rugged terrain and abundance of wildlife here is just amazing for photography. it's like something you'd see in Iceland. Tombstone is also probably the most accessible place to see Arctic Tundra in the world since the Dempster Highway conveniently cuts right through the park. It was well worth the short 5-hour drive from Whitehorse and every day of driving before that. I will certainly be back to revisit some day in order to take on the 14-mile trek to Grizzly Lake and Mount Monolith after all of the amazing things I've heard about that. And quite ironically, there were indeed two moose in Two Moose Lake.
Noah D — Google review
One of the most beautiful parks visited. It's a bit low on service and heavily trafficked. Could not land a camping spot with booking. Serene mountains all around. The camping area has trails which display the different fauna of the region in walk of few km's. The hike to grizzly lake view point is stunningly beautiful. The views are just spectacular.

Amazing experience! The trail into Mount Monolith was a soul-searching experience. A well maintained trail through the tundra with great tent pads, near gorgeous lakes. Glacade pass was a struggle to get up however, not impossible. It's worth the planning and back country reservations. Post backpack, we took a rip up the Demoster to visit the interpretive center. The staff were knowledgeable and the facilities were clean.

Did a winter day trip to Tombstone from Dawson with the Klondike Experience. The drive was reasonable, only ~1.5h and the road conditions were actually quite good. It's quite amazing to be driving along the Dempster Highway itself while learning about its history. The park is absolutely stunning and otherworldly...I felt really lucky to be able to see such scenery. We drove across the continental divide and the furthest we got to was Two Moose Lake, before turning back. It was amazing to see two distinct types of scenery: boreal forest and tall mountains vs. tundra landscapes. The tundra part felt straight out of a Lawren Harris painting...We also saw a moose crossing the road. Definitely an underrated destination in Canada and a place that makes me appreciate life even more.

My wife and I hired a pilot and helicopter to take us to the Tombstone Territorial Park for our wedding anniversary last summer. We flew out of Dawson City and went with a company called Trans North. Our pilot Nathan was exceptional. He ensured I safely and comfortably was able to maneuver myself into the helicopter, and ensured I didn’t feel rushed while walking to Talus lake from the heli. Nathan gladly offered to take photos and took time to describe the area to us. The Tombstone mountain and surrounding area was quite surreal to be there. The day we went was picture perfect, no one else was there, and it was calm, peaceful and beautiful. For any Yukoner or person visiting the Yukon, This experience should definitely be on your life time bucket list. The helicopter option is great if you don’t want to worry about camping, bears and bugs, it also gives you another amazing perspective of this gorgeous area!

great spot, a few issues with hiking permits. they want you to use a "bear barrel" for food, its the size of a small keg, heavy and doesnt fit in most backpacks. you must buy your own, they have none to borrow or rent. they are not cheap. the nearest place to buy/rent one is dawson city over a 5 hour round trip away. be aware that even though you have to register and check in and out..., they will not initiate a search if you go missing and fail to show up. most of the scenic points are off trail and serious trekking to reach. walking on tundra is like walking on a 12 inch thick memory foam mattress and exhusting. rolling an ankle is a serious hazard.

Grizzly Lake is a classic hiking destination in Kluane Park, offering stunning views of the Slim's River Valley, Kluane Lake, and the surrounding mountains. Hikers may spot sheep and grizzlies in the area, making it essential to bring binoculars for safe observation. The hike includes a visit to a magnificent lake where hikers can admire reflections of the mountains on its surface.
Beautiful lake and the first stop to the round hike between grizzly / divide / talus! The campground is great and equipped with designated tent slot that you have to book early, bear canister storage box, toilet and tent to cook. The view is awesome and from there you can go to twin lake or angel fall waterfall.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent lake which completes the first part of the hiking trail. In case of good weather, you will be able to observe the magnificent mountains which reflect on the lake. If you still have a little energy you can either: - Go around the lake to see the Angels Falls (but this is not necessarily a recommended route... Lots of large rocks and very impassable. Especially since you can see the falls while passing through the other path). - Head towards the Twins lake/peak lookout. Demanding trail, but which shows that Tombstone Park is truly gigantic with lots of mountains and trails that are still little explored. The ridges are accessible but after a long day of hiking not necessarily recommended. (Original) Magnifique lac qui achève la première partie du sentier de randonnée. En cas de beau temps, vous pourrez observer les magnifiques montagnes qui reflètent sur le lac. Si vous avez encore un peu d'énergie vous pouvez soit : - Faire le tour du lac pour aller voir les Angels Falls (mais ce n'est pas forcément un itinéraire recommandé ... Beaucoup de grosses roches et très peu praticable. D'autant que vous pouvez voir les chutes en passant par l'autre sentier). - Vous diriger vers les Twins lake/peak lookout. Sentier exigeant, mais qui montre que le parc de Tombstone est véritablement gigantesque avec plein de montagnes et de sentiers encore peu explorés. Les crêtes sont accessibles mais après une longue journée de randonnée pas forcément conseillé.

An unforgettable hike that begins among the spruce trees, climbs up to a lookout point overlooking the forest, then continues along several rocky ridges. After a few slight up and downs, stone gravel and the cries of marmot, you will see the lake in the distance.

The Mountain Hero Trailhead, originally known as the Sam McGee Trail, offers a breathtaking hiking experience through a deciduous forest with vibrant fall colors. This historic trail serviced a tramway built by Sam McGee in 1905, and hikers can still spot remnants of mining artifacts along the way. The trail leads to the alpine below Montana Mountain and continues on to surrounding ridges for more exploration.
Add this to your hiking bucket list! A truly stunning hike that begins in a forest of deciduous trees (great to capture the fall colours) and continues on a steady uphill following a historic trail that was used to service a tramway built by Sam McGee in 1905. Their are still many tramway and mining artifacts along the trail that we passed as we hiked. The trail ends in the alpine below Montana Mountain but one can continue to hike further on to some of the surrounding ridges. We tackled one ridge but the wind was pretty blustery and chilly, so we made our way back down on the Mountain Hero bike trail that connects back up to the Sam McGee trail.

A trail up through aspen onto the alpine slope of Montana Mt. Fabulous during the fall colors because of the golden aspen grove on the lower slopes around Conrad, YT. Remnants of old mining equipment and mine tram towers can also be investigated.

Montana Mountain is a popular destination for mountain bikers, particularly along the Sam McGee Trail and the shared Mountain Hero trail. Hikers should be mindful of bikers on the descent. The main trailhead features a steep slope and a narrow path with a significant drop-off, but there's an alternative ATV road to access the stunning views without risking safety. Despite challenging access due to washed-out roads, this beautiful mountain offers seclusion at its peak, making it an appealing place to visit again.
Main trail head has a huge slope with a trial that’s 1.5 feet wide with a deathly drop on the side you can scramble up the trees about 100m back or take the atv road that’s half a km back so you don’t have to die trying to see the views. 5/5 would risk my life for the mountains again

Mountain peak
Rake Mountain, located in Tombstone Territorial Park, offers a stunning and somewhat otherworldly landscape. Accessible from the turnoff near kilometer 90 of the Dempster Highway, this area is known for its beautiful mountain ranges, colorful tundra, and vast wilderness. Hiking enthusiasts will find the summit worth the medium to hard difficulty trek, with breathtaking views of the valley, Dempster Highway, and surrounding mountains and streams.
Awesome 360 view from the top! Depending on how you go for it, it can be tough and challenging to reach the top! I would advise to go to the summit by first going through the ridge and not follow the path next to the mountain or else like us, you will have at some point to cut through bushes, trees and sometimes swamp if the snow melted recently Anw worth the effort :)
Franck B — Google review
(Translated by Google) Rake Mountain is a beautiful mountain with a medium/hard difficulty. The view at the summit is well worth the effort as is the small ridge path downstream from the summit. Whatever happens, you will have superb views of the valley, the Dempster Highway and the surrounding mountains or streams. The path to reach the summit, however, is difficult to access from halfway around (even before if you follow the marked path which runs along the river below). The bushes hurt and scratch the skin. Take hiking pants or really high socks, otherwise you'll end up like me crying and cursing the whole Earth. But don't be discouraged... It's worth it! (Original) Rake Mountain est une superbe montagne dont la difficulté est moyenne/difficile. La vue au sommet vaut largement les efforts ainsi que le petit chemin de crête en aval du sommet. Vous aurez quoiqu'il arrive de superbes vues sur la vallée, la Dempster Highway et les montagnes ou ruisseaux environnants. Le chemin pour arriver au sommet est cependant difficile d'accès à partir de la moitié du parcours (même avant d'ailleurs si vous suivez le chemin tracé qui longe la rivière en contrebas). Les buissons font mal et égratignent la peau. Prenez des pantalons de randonnées ou des chaussettes vraiment hautes, sinon vous finirez comme moi à en pleurer en maudissant la Terre entière.

This family-friendly destination offers visitors a chance to observe majestic wildlife such as elk, moose, woodland caribou, mountain goats, and even baby moose.
Excellent staff. Very friendly and helpful. We walked around as we like to hike and prefer that to the tour bus or bike. Animals were great but the moose were elusive which is normal apparently. I've been coming to Canada for 10 years now and never seen one. Maybe they are either very shy or are hiding from hunters?

This place was fantastic! Our guide Kaitlyn made this tour a fun and educational one. She was humorous and informative, sharing with us about all the facts that we did not know. The animals such as the lynxes and the fox living there were all rescued and have grown into stronger selves. Another entertaining part was the ground squirrels (see photo). They were so cute and never failed to make us laugh! This has been a memorable experience and I will definitely come back!

Piper was a fantastic guide and we were able to see pretty much all the animals in the preserve. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Carcross Desert, located just under an hour from Whitehorse, is a unique natural attraction that offers various outdoor activities. Despite being called a desert, it's not technically one due to its humid conditions and some vegetation. The area features sand dunes popular for hiking and sandboarding, as well as winter sports like snowboarding and cross-country skiing.
Did you know the world's smallest desert is right here in Canada?! Well it is! Carcross Desert in the Yukon! The sand is way softer than it looks. The scenery is beautiful. What a unique place to visit. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's easy to find, lots of parking, worth a stop! I mean who can say they've been to the world's smallest desert!!

Certainly worth the stop if you're on the south Klondike highway. Yet another unique piece of landscape in an already stunning area.
Seth M — Google review
The Carcross Desert, situated just outside Carcross in Yukon, Canada, is renowned as the world's smallest desert, encompassing approximately 2.6 square kilometers (1 square mile) of undulating sand dunes that create a striking contrast against the surrounding boreal forest and mountainous landscape. Formed during the Pleistocene epoch, the dunes originated from glacial lake sediments deposited when vast bodies of water filled the southern Yukon valleys, with winds subsequently shaping the exposed sands into their current configuration following the lakes' recession. Although often classified as a desert due to its arid appearance and low precipitation in the immediate area, it technically does not meet strict desert criteria owing to the region's higher humidity levels and vegetation, making it more accurately a unique sand dune ecosystem. The site's origins trace back to ancient glacial activity, where retreating ice left behind fine silt and sand that strong prevailing winds sculpted over millennia. Historically, the area around Carcross was known as Caribou Crossing, named for the large herds of woodland caribou that once migrated through the region, a designation that influenced the community's original name before it was shortened to Carcross in the early 20th century to avoid postal confusion. The desert itself has become a point of interest for its anomalous presence in a subarctic environment, supporting specialized plant species adapted to sandy soils, such as lodgepole pine and rare Yukon lupine, while also serving as a habitat for various wildlife. Its formation is linked to the post-glacial period, where the combination of glacial outwash and aeolian processes created this miniature desert-like feature amid Yukon's typically lush terrain. Visiting the Carcross Desert provides an intriguing opportunity to explore this geological curiosity, offering activities such as hiking across the dunes, sandboarding, or simply appreciating the surreal juxtaposition of desert sands with nearby lakes and mountains. Accessible year-round via a short drive from Carcross, the site is free to enter and features interpretive signage that educates on its natural history and ecological significance. It is particularly appealing for nature enthusiasts and photographers seeking a quick, low-effort adventure, though visitors should wear appropriate footwear for sandy conditions and adhere to leave-no-trace principles to preserve this delicate environment. The location's proximity to other Yukon attractions enhances its value as a stopover in broader regional explorations.

Absolutely fantastic. We loved it. We were taken by surface to see a desert from nowhere. We went all the way up the small desert and enjoyed every moment of it. The sand is moist and cool so enjoyed walking bear foot. We were told that it is technically not a desert as the sand is too moist to be considered a desert but it is fun irrespective. Must visit if you are on that side.

Located just 240 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle, the Arctic Circle Sign is a must-see photo opportunity for travelers heading to Tuktoyaktuk.

The area offers a quiet and serene atmosphere, with occasional traffic passing by. While it may be a bit smoky due to wildfires, visitors can capture memorable moments at this iconic spot.
One of the greatest moments of my life when I reached the sign. If you have a car with a soft suspension, its all good traveling the Dempster Highway, but in a pickup truck with a large trailer, not so much. Apart from that, its an amazing thing to see.

Not too many people will get to come as far north as this, so I was lucky to make it down the horrible Dempster Highway on the way to the Arctic Ocean, and stop at the Arctic Circle sign. When I got there, there was one other person resting probably also on the way down to the Arctic Ocean, which at this point I would say six or seven hours driving to the Arctic Ocean. It was very quiet with the occasional vehicle driving by but not too much traffic. It was a bit smoky because of the wildfires. I have heard from others that the Canadian Arctic Circle sign is better than the American one so I just went to the Canadian one. I didn’t want to waste time driving on the US side again.

My visit to Kathleen Lake in Kluane National Park was an exceptional experience that left a lasting impression. The serene beauty of the lake, surrounded by the majestic peaks of the St. Elias Mountains, provided a breathtaking backdrop for a peaceful and rejuvenating outdoor adventure. The crystal-clear waters and pristine natural surroundings made it an ideal spot for reflection and relaxation. I particularly appreciated the well-maintained trails around the lake, which offered stunning views and opportunities to observe local wildlife. Kathleen Lake is a true gem within Kluane National Park, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to connect with nature in a tranquil and awe-inspiring setting.

Came here with my family as part of a day trip to Kluane National Park from Whitehorse. The views were stunning, while my children loved running around the beach and skipping stones on the water. We also hiked on the short Kokanee Trail that lies on the shores of the lake. Although I wish the path were longer, it still is a gorgeous spot.

The view from the top of King’s throne is as spectacular as the one in front of Kathleen lake. Great spot for lunch and dinner. Water is cold in June but felt so good when you get out of it.

The dogsled ride service provided by Into the Wild Adventures offers an incredible and awe-inspiring experience. Marine Gastard, a skilled host and tour guide, leads the way with her remarkable dogs, displaying not only their strength but also their humble nature. It is highly recommended for anyone in or around Whitehorse to book a sledding tour with them. The friendly and amazing dogs create a bond with visitors through playtime before the trip begins. The track itself provides breathtaking sightseeing opportunities.
It was an AMAZING experience for me! Marine Gastard is a wonderful host and tour guide. The dogs showed real heroics. So humble; yet so strong. Thank you Marine and your dogs once again. I highly recommend anyone who is in an around #Whitehorse to book a sledding tour with you guys. All the very best with the rest of season and hope you see you guys later.

My highlight of the Yukon trip! We went on a full day dog sledding adventure with Marine. She was great. The trails she chose had amazing views, and her choice of lunch was delicious. She was also very understanding and accommodating. My wife came down with a fever the night before our originally scheduled day. Marine let us switch days at the last minute to accommodate. Her dogs are cute and fun to play with. I recommend this tour for anyone visiting Whitehorse.

Visitor center
Thechàl Dhâl Visitor Centre is a small but intriguing stop along the highway, offering information about the local park, wildlife, and history. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of Kluane Lake and the surrounding mountains. The center is staffed by friendly and knowledgeable Parks Canada workers who provide valuable insights about the area. While it may be closed during certain seasons, the breathtaking scenery on the way to the center makes it a worthwhile detour for travelers.
Unfortunately was not able to go into the visitor center though we arrived before the published closing time. There were more than 20 dall's sheep on the rocky slope at Soldier's Trail. Pit toilet is clean with sanitizer.

We were here in 2017. You ca see the Dall sheep from the visitor centre. They have beautiful spotting scope's that you can use to spot the sheep. Of course you can also use your own binoculars.

Awesome national park. Go Canada! Visitor center was closed when we were there on a Tuesday, so bummer no purchasing souvenirs, talking with a ranger, or getting awesome informational brochures. Did use their vault toilets and garbage cans. Drove all the way from Tok and back same day to see this park, and it was worth it. Pics here are views from this VC.

Not going to lie, I stopped here originally because seeing a building all on its own a stretch off the highway on a lake bed with absolutely nothing else around it provoked my curiosity. It was a very worthwhile 15 min diversion on a long highway drive. No spoilers as to why this exists though
Shane A — Google review
Awesome visitor center! We got there a few minutes before opening and were looking at the sheep through our own binoculars, but the staff came out early to set up a telescope so we could see the dall sheep better. The exhibit inside was very informative, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a great experience

I came through this area on the way to Anchorage and all I could say was WOW. And I thought the glades was epic here in Florida. I wonder if you yelled or screamed out here if your echo would even return. It also got me thinking if you broke down out here your in a world of hurt with it being an 18 or 12 hr hike to the closest town or civilization. Cell service isn't the greatest in this area.

National reserve
Nááts'įhch'oh National Park Reserve is a breathtaking gem nestled within the majestic Mackenzie Mountains. Named after Mount Wilson, or Naats'ihch'oh in the Shuhtagotine language, this park boasts stunning landscapes characterized by sharp peaks reminiscent of porcupine quills. The area holds significant cultural value for the Shuhtaotine people, who have historically utilized it for hunting and other traditional practices.
'Nááts'ihch'oh National Park Reserve is within the Mackenzie Mountains. The park takes its name from Nááts'įhch'oh (Mount Wilson) at the north end of the park. “Nááts'įhch'oh” is the Shúhtagot’ine language description of this mountain and it refers to its unique shape, which is sharp and pointed on the top like a porcupine quill. This area has been travelled and valued for hunting and its cultural importance by the Shúhtaot’ine (Mountain Dene, a Sahtu group) of the Tulita District. The mountain from which the park takes its name is credited with great powers. The main rivers running through this area are the South Nahanni River (Tehjeh Deé), and the Broken Skull River which merges with the South Nahanni. Paddlers can descend the South Nahanni River's "rock garden" starting at Nááts’įhch’oh Tué (Moose Ponds), or take the less technical Broken Skull River. The highest peaks within the park are Nááts'įhch'oh (Mount Wilson) at 2,245 m (7,365 ft), and an unnamed peak at 2,456 m (8,058 ft) near Nionep'ene Tué (Backbone Lake, formerly Grizzly Bear Lake).

Yukon River is a prime destination for experiencing the mesmerizing Northern Lights, with Whitehorse being one of the best spots in the world to witness this natural phenomenon. The area's low population and minimal light pollution make it ideal for stargazing. Visitors can also enjoy activities such as dog sledding and wildlife tours while staying at resorts like Aurora Glass Chalets, which offer stunning views of the auroras through their floor-to-ceiling windows.

Lake
Bennett Lake, located in southern Yukon and northern British Columbia near Carcross, played a significant role during the Klondike Gold Rush. It was a bustling site where prospectors would purchase or build boats to journey down the Yukon River to Dawson City. The White Pass Railroad still operates today, offering a scenic journey between Skagway and Carcross with breathtaking views of waterfalls, glaciers, and the shimmering waters of Lake Bennett.
Bennett Lake played a prominent role in the Klondike gold rush. It is where the Stampeders established a major camp to begin their journey by water to Dawson City. The White Pass Railroad stops here and allows passengers to disembark to visit a museum and walk the grounds. It’s a must-see for history buffs.

Mountain peak
Mount Martha Black is the highest peak in the Auriol Range and can be reached via the Auriol Trail. This trail offers a diverse terrain, making it suitable for entry-level mountaineering with various skills required such as glacier travel and up to Class 5 scrambling. It's recommended to have rope, harnesses, and helmets for safety. The journey involves covering a considerable distance and elevation, so overnight stays on the alpine flower-covered plateau are ideal.

John D — Google review
Mount Martha Black is the highest peak in the Auriol Range of the Saint Elias Mountains, situated in Yukon, Canada, with an elevation of 2,512 meters (8,241 feet). It is accessible through the Auriol Trail, which presents a challenging 7.3-mile loop route suitable for experienced hikers and mountaineers, featuring diverse terrain and opportunities for entry-level mountaineering. Martha Louise Black, born Martha Louise Munger on February 24, 1866, in Chicago, Illinois, was a prominent Canadian politician, businesswoman, and Yukon pioneer. Originating from a wealthy family, she pursued adventure during the Klondike Gold Rush in 1898, at the age of 32, enduring the challenging Chilkoot Trail to reach the Yukon Territory. In Dawson City, she established herself as a successful entrepreneur, operating placer gold claims and other ventures. She married George Black, who later served as Yukon's Commissioner, and became actively involved in territorial affairs. In 1935, at the age of 69, Black was elected to the House of Commons of Canada, representing Yukon, making her the second woman to achieve this milestone. She was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her contributions. Black passed away on October 31, 1957, leaving a legacy as a resilient figure in Canadian history.

Carcross/Tagish First Nation is located in a picturesque village and is known for the nearby Carcross Desert, which was formed around 10,000 years ago as a result of the melting ice sheet that once covered North America. The desert's unique landscape was created when sand and silt trapped in the glacier settled into thick layers at the bottom of glacial lakes that have since dried up. This natural wonder offers magnificent views and is a must-see attraction in the area.
