Kluane National Park and Reserve Essentials

Kluane National Park and Reserve contains the largest non-polar icefield in the world and seventeen of Canada's twenty highest peaks, including Mount Logan. This UNESCO World Heritage site is defined by the Saint Elias Mountains and massive valley glaciers. The park protects a diverse ecosystem ranging from alpine tundra to lush valleys, providing habitat for grizzly bears, Dall sheep, and mountain goats. Visitors access the wilderness via the Alaska Highway, with the Haines Junction visitor centre serving as the primary gateway for backcountry permits and trail information.
