Rock Glacier Trail
A short trail beside the Haines Highway with a wooden boardwalk over wetland that leads onto a rock glacier of ice and rubble, with views of Dezadeash Lake.
The Rock Glacier Trail lies beside the Haines Highway about 50 km south of Haines Junction. The round trip is about 1.6 km and takes 30 to 45 minutes. The trail first crosses a wooden boardwalk and wetland, then climbs onto a rock glacier formed by the slow movement of mixed ice and rubble. It looks like a vast rock slide, and interpretive signs along the way explain how it forms. From the top you can see Dezadeash Lake and the surrounding valleys. The rubble sections are uneven, so sturdy shoes are needed. It is a good stop on the way to Kathleen Lake or Dezadeash Lake.
