Kluane National Park and Reserve
National park · Yukon — Kluane & Interior
Mount Logan, Canada's highest peak, anchors a park that's 83 percent ice and rock, but the accessible eastern edge along Kathleen Lake turns color fast in the short subarctic autumn. Willow and dwarf birch on the King's Throne trail above the lake go red and gold by early September, with balsam poplar and trembling aspen following in the valley below.
