ユーコンの絶景の山頂・トップ6

Golden Horn is one of Whitehorse’s most recognizable peaks, rising prominently to the south of the city. Its broad, rounded summit offers sweeping views of the Yukon River valley, Mount Lorne, and the distant Coast Mountains. The mountain’s name comes alive in late summer and fall, when the tundra turns shades of gold and red, a perfect reflection of its name.

The Surfbird Mountain Trail is a steep and rewarding route that takes you deep into Tombstone’s alpine world. Starting near the campground, it climbs quickly through tundra and rocky slopes, offering expansive views even before you reach the top. The final push to the summit involves some loose rock and uneven footing, but the scenery makes every step worthwhile. It’s a short but strenuous hike that showcases the wild heart of the park and the rugged landscapes that define this northern wilderness.

Grey Mountain Summit Trail begins with a gentle initial climb, then steepens before leveling out, and becomes an open ridge once you come closer to the summit of Grey Mountain. The trail is open to hikers and bikers and is rated double black diamond. The views from the ridge open to the Yukon River valley, Whitehorse, and lakes like Lake Laberge below. The Grey Mountain Summit Trail lies in the traditional territories of Kwanlin Dün and Ta’an Kwäch’än, so please use Leave No Trace and stay on the trail.

North of Grey Mountain Summit, the Grey Mountain Summit Trail extends until it joins The Dream. This ridge is exposed but not a steep knife-edge on the sides, and there are great views all the way down to Whitehorse.

The Mount White Trail leads to the summit of towering Mount White and challenges you with 700 meters of elevation gain! The picturesque views along the climb are worth the effort, including some scenic rock formations, shimmering lakes and a radio tower to take a break.

Descending on the 'Auriol Trail' on the west side you come to a viewpoint at about 1,000 m altitude with a view of the village of Haines Junction about 400 m below and the 'Ruby Range Mountains' in the distance.

Kluane National Park and Reserve is located in the Yukon Province and borders British Columbia and Alaska. The national park was established in 1976 and protects more than 22,000 km2 of Canada's Northern Coastal Mountains. Kluane and adjacent Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in Alaska were jointly designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Kluane National Park is home to Canada's highest mountains, including Mount Logan (5,959 m), Canada's highest peak. The park features the world's largest non-polar ice fields, covering almost half of the park. https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/yt/kluane/visit/cartes-maps/PNR-Kluane-NPR https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/yt/kluane http://parkscanadahistory.com/publications/fact-sheets/eng/kluane.pdf

The path to 'King's Throne', a basin below the summit, is steep, unpaved and unmarked. Snow conditions in spring, even in the lower regions, make the ascent difficult. https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/yt/kluane/activ/randonnee-hiking/kings-throne
