Bird Watching

There is good birding in the spring in the Shakwak Valley. One hundred and eighteen species of birds nest within the boundaries of Kluane National Park and Reserve.

• June is the breeding season in the valley; birds are singing all day and night
• Dezadeash River Trail on the edge of the Village is an excellent option for birders
• Sulphur Lake, 36 km north of Haines Junction on the Alaska Highway, is a good place to view waterfowl, including Trumpeter Swans and Bald Eagles.
