You could spend hours strolling along the shore of this large, beautiful lake, with new views opening up time and time again. Unfortunately, the adjacent trails were closed due to bears.

Beatiful View over the Valley along the sheep creek Trail.

This hike is not to be missed. It takes you just above the tree line and with a bit of luck you can see Dall sheep.

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

At 408 km2, 'Kluane Lake' is the largest lake in the Yukon. The Alaska Highway runs along the southwest side of the lake. Until 2016, 'Kluane Lake' was fed by the Ä'äy Chù (Slims River) with meltwater from the 'Kaskawulsh Glacier'. In May 2016, the Slims River disappeared within four days as a result of climate change, leaving a tidal flat where the Alaska Highway crosses the bay. With the loss of the main water supply, 'Kluane Lake' is likely to become an isolated and shrinking lake. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kluane_Lake

The 'Thechàl Dhâl Visitor Center' is located on the Alaska Highway / Kluane Lake about 1 hour north of Haines Junction. Thechàl Dhâl Visitor Center is open from May 19th to September 4th from 10am to 4pm. From the center's outdoor deck, fixed binoculars can be used in spring and autumn to see Dall sheep on the south-east slope of nearby Thechàl Dhâl' Mountain. https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/yt/kluane/visit/services/info

The 'Kaskawulsh Glacier' is a huge glacier in the 'St. Elias Mountain Range'. It covers an area of more than 39,000 km2 and consists of two converging outlet glaciers that are more than 6 km wide. The glacial water flows into two major river valleys, the Slims River and the Kaskawulsh River. Due to the retreat of the glacier, however, only a small amount of meltwater has flowed into the Slims River since spring 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaskawulsh_Glacier https://eros.usgs.gov/media-gallery/image-of-the-week/kaskawulsh-glacier-canada
