This visitor center sits at the junction of the Alaska Highway and Haines Highway, serving as the primary information hub for Kluane National Park. Inside you’ll find detailed maps, weather updates, backcountry permits, and knowledgeable staff who know current trail conditions. The center also houses exhibits on local wildlife including Dall sheep and grizzlies. Gas station and general store are right across the street.
Open year-round but with reduced winter hours. The building doubles as an emergency shelter contact point during severe weather. Cell service is decent here, making it a good spot to check in with the outside world before heading deeper into the wilderness.
