Mount Logan

Mount Logan is the tallest mountain in Canada and the second tallest in North America, and it is located in Kluane National Park. It is also the world's largest non-volcanic peak in terms of circumference. While anybody may admire the breathtaking grandeur of this mountain, climbing it is best left to the specialists. Even in the summer, the temperature on the mountain, which is near 20,000 feet, remains below 0 degrees. Climbers took 65 days from start to finish to reach the summit and return to their starting place when the mountain was first climbed in 1925. If you hiked Mount Logan today, it would probably take you two weeks. The cost of going on the hike with guides is almost $10,000 per person, and that's just for the climbing portion.

Airfare to and from Whitehorse (where your tour begins), motels, meals, insurance, and your gear are all additional expenses to consider when embarking on a journey like this. If none of that deters you, Mount Logan is supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Mount Logan is similar in size to Denali, although it is considerably less visited and yet pure.
