A UNESCO World Heritage Site
Our Haines Junction and Kluane National Park road trip is an amazing opportunity to see the edge of one of Canada’s most beautiful National Parks. The drive to Haines Junction winds through the Yukon wilderness, and along the way we pass through the territory of various wild horse, elk and bison herds. Not to mention all the black and grizzly bears that roam the area.
Once we arrive in Haines Junction, we will pay a visit to the Kluane National Park and Reserve Visitor Centre, a stunning, world-class building dedicated to artifacts, art, and digital displays about Kluane. After we’ve learned about the park and the largest non-polar ice field within it, we will jump back in our vehicle and head off to see a lake or two. We will make sure to make several photo stops along the way, it’s too beautiful around here not to!
We will pick you up from your hotel at 8:30 a.m. and travel to Haines Junction and Kluane National Park on Alaska Highway. We’ll make a lunch stop at the Village Bakery in Haines Junction, and weather permitting, we’ll hopefully have time for a short walk, with incredible views! We will return to your Whitehorse hotel at around 5:30 p.m.
Please note: Other than our visit to Kathleen Lake, the interior of Kluane National Park is only accessible by hiking, canoeing or by plane as there are no roads into Kluane. This trip will take you along the edge of the mountains and is still an incredible drive, and is very much a part of the Yukon worth experiencing.
* Some of these attractions are only available seasonally and might not be entirely accessible within specified times.
