Lust list Kluane National Park, Yukon, Canada About 160 kilometre away from Yukon’s capital Whitehorse is the Haines Junction, gateway to the beautiful Kluane National Park. Home to Canada’s tallest peak Mount Logan, this huge national park sprawls over 22,000 square kilometres of land with its blue glaciers and lush valleys.You can choose to explore it from the sky, aboard a helicopter or on an airplane equipped with skis (which allow high-altitude snow landings). But the best way to take in Kluane’s beauty is it to go hiking using the Park’s vast network of trails. You could literally walk for days through the beautiful, sombre landscapes without spotting another person. Bliss! Getting here is pretty easy—just hire a rental car from Whitehorse and drive down to Kluane for a nice road trip, like most visitors do.
