The Saint Elias Lake Trail takes you on a journey through stunning Yukon wilderness, winding through forest and rocky ridges before reaching the tranquil waters of Saint Elias Lake. Along the way, you’ll be surrounded by towering peaks, the crisp, clean air of the Yukon backcountry, and wildflowers during summer. It’s a challenging yet rewarding hike, each step upward brings broader views, culminating in a sweeping panorama at the lake that makes the effort truly worthwhile.
