Kluane National Park
Kluane National Park covers an area of just under 22,000 square kilometres. It is a land of precipitous, high mountains, immense icefields and lush valleys that is home to a diverse array of plant and wildlife species and provides for a host of outdoor activities. Canada's highest peak, Mount Logan (5959 m/19,545 ft), is also in Kluane National Park. As part of a larger system of national parks and historic sites, Kluane National Park protects and presents a nationally significant example of Canada’s North Coast Mountains natural region and the associated regional cultural heritage.
These parks comprise an impressive complex of glaciers and high peaks on both sides of the border between Canada and the United States. The site contains the largest non-polar icefield in the world and contains examples of some of the world’s longest and most spectacular glaciers.

Tincup Wilderness Lodge
Tincup Wilderness Lodge, off the beaten track even by Yukon standards, offers the ultimate wilderness experience. The ‘fly in only’ lodge is built on a lake close to Kluane National Park in the heart of western Yukon. Apart from viewing wildlife you can choose to hike the trails, explore the bays by kayak and canoe or just relax in the comfort of the lodge taking in the beauty, solitude and serenity of the Yukon. The waters around Tincup Wilderness Lodge offer exceptional fishing. The hikes offer guests the opportunity to see and photograph wildlife, flowers and panoramic vistas of unspoiled Yukon wilderness. The only trails visible are the well worn game trails followed for centuries by migrating caribou, moose, Dall sheep and grizzly bears. These trails also serve the hiker with easy access routes to the high alpine country where guests can wonder for hours and still be in constant site of the lodge below. Overnight sleep outs on top of any of the surrounding mountains can also be arranged. In addition, the lodge provides its guests with unlimited use of its cedar canoe, rowboat and one person kayaks. The long, quiet evenings and perfectly still waters of Tincup Lake provide our guests with the perfect opportunity to glide up quietly and observe at close range, moose and other animals grazing at the waters edge. The lodge also has an extensive library with books and articles pertaining to the Yukon and its history. Private cooking demonstrations are also available. For the occasional guest who simply cannot relax without watching movies, a limited selection of movies, a VCR and monitor are available for use by the guest in the privacy of his/her room. One night in Whitehorse is recommended prior to your stay at Tincup. Each of the five cedar log cabins can accommodate two guests and have a private shower, woodstove and a covered veranda.
