Canada's Kluane National Park Is a Remote Adventure Paradise With Glaciers, Hiking, and Rafting

"An immense protected wilderness in western Canada's Yukon covering more than 8,000 square miles and anchored by a vast, contiguous ice field that reads from the air as one unbroken white expanse. Glaciers spill from the ice field into valleys, feed lakes and rivers, and in places the ice mantle exceeds 3,000 feet; crevasses and avalanche-prone slopes emphasize the raw, untamed scale of the terrain. The park contains multiple high summits (including a 19,550-foot peak and a 13,944-foot peak) yet remains remote, receiving only about 30,000 visitors a year—mostly in May through September—so experiences here tend to feel sublime, awe-inspiring and a little intimidating, whether viewed from a small plane on a flightseeing tour or explored on foot, by raft, or on guided valley outings." - Eva Holland Eva Holland Eva Holland is a Yukon-based freelance writer and author of the book “Nerve: A Personal Journey Through the Science of Fear.” Her work has been featured in Outside magazine, Travel + Leisure, Anchorage Daily News, The Walrus Magazine, and Cottage Life.
