This Stunning National Park Is One of the Least-visited in Canada-but It Has the Tallest Mountain in the Country

"Kluane National Park and Reserve boasts many "mosts." It is as far west as you can get in Canada, and almost as far north. It's home to the highest mountains in the country, including Mount Logan, Canada's tallest peak. Plus, it forms one of the biggest UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and is home to the planet's largest nonpolar ice field, which spans the border between Canada and the United States."

""It is among the country's largest and wildest national parks," says Stella Patera, an acting partnering and engagement officer at Parks Canada. "Vast ice fields are found in the park, up to a kilometer deep in places. These massive ice fields meet massive mountains. But the park isn't just for hardcore adventurers. Amazing frontcountry hiking just off the highway, a road-accessed campground set near a gorgeous lake, and an expansive visitor center with interactive exhibits makes Kluane's wild charms within almost anyone's reach.""

Kluane National Park and Reserve sits at Canada's western and near-northern limits and contains the country's highest mountains, including Mount Logan. The park forms part of one of the largest UNESCO World Heritage Sites and contains the planet's largest nonpolar ice field that spans the Canada–U.S. border. Vast ice fields reach up to a kilometer deep and meet massive mountains. Frontcountry hiking, a highway-access campground beside a lake, and an expansive visitor center provide accessible experiences. The park lies within traditional territories of Champagne and Aishihik First Nations, Kluane First Nation, and White River First Nation. Land claim agreements in 1993 and 2003 restored and protected Indigenous hunting rights.
