Haines Junction is gateway to Kluane National Park and Reserve. The park protects 21,980 square kilometres of Canada's spectacular North Coast Mountains including Mount Logan (5959 m/19,545 ft), Canada's highest peak.
Kluane, plus neighbouring parks Tatshenshini in British Columbia and Wrangell-St. Elias and Glacier Bay in Alaska, make up a UNESCO World Heritage Site – the world's largest international protected area. Parks Canada cooperatively manages the park with the Champagne and Aishihik and Kluane First Nations, on whose traditional territories much of the park lies. Kluane is a land of precipitous mountains and immense icefields rimmed by lush green valleys rich with wildlife. While expedition style mountaineering in the Icefield Ranges attracts expert climbers from around the world, flight-seeing tours into the icefields offer a readily accessible experience few will ever forget.
