A Full Day
As you travel toward Haines Junction, your guide shares stories about the land’s natural and cultural history, and you begin to understand why this region is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the first highlights awaits at Kathleen Lake, a shimmering alpine lake framed by towering mountains. Here, you can step out onto the lakeshore, breathe the crisp mountain air, and take photos that capture the peace and grandeur of the Yukon wilderness.
The tour includes a short guided hike to a viewpoint where glacial features like Rock Glacier reveal the park’s geological wonders. Every turn of the trail brings a new perspective — jagged peaks, ice-blue water, and an ever-changing sky. Your guide points out local flora and fauna, and keeps an eye out for wildlife like moose or even bears along the route.
A visit to the Da Kų Cultural Centre adds a meaningful cultural layer to the day, offering insights into the Southern Tutchone and other Indigenous peoples whose histories are woven into this land.
By late afternoon, as the sun begins to soften and shadows lengthen over the mountains, you begin the return journey to Whitehorse. This full-day tour is more than sightseeing — it’s a deep, sensory connection with one of Canada’s most spectacular wild places, leaving you with memories you’ll treasure long after the journey ends.
