Kluane National Park and Reserve of Canada

Cycling and Mountain Biking

A number of old mining roads in the Kluane National Park & Reserve area are ideal for mountain biking, particularly the Alsek Trail and Mush Lake Road. Please inquire at the Visitor Centres for further information. 

Responsible Mountain Biking

Mountain biking in a national park comes with stewardship responsibilities. Riding non-designated or closed trails, building new trails, or riding off-trail displaces wildlife and destroys soil and vegetation.

Rules of the trail:

• Be bear aware – if you will be traveling quickly and quietly, try to avoid surprising bears. Make noise! 
• Share the trail – when you approach a hiker, slow down and make your presence known with a bell or a friendly greeting. 
• Avoid riding during extreme conditions; wet, muddy or very dry trails are more likely to be damaged. 
• Help preserve the quality of our trails. Ride, don't slide - avoid skidding your tires by hard braking. Ride over obstacles, not around them. If obstacles are above your skill level, walk your bike. 
• Control your bicycle!

Safety

You are responsible for your own safety. Be prepared for a breakdown or accident. Know how to repair your bike and carry the tools and parts to do so.

• Choose rides that match your abilities. Be conservative - start with easier, short trails. Park staff can help you select a suitable route. 
• Wear a helmet and appropriate safety gear. 
• Bring extra food, water and clothing. Mountain weather changes quickly and it can snow any month of the year. Surface water may be contaminated with Giardia. 
• Always tell someone where you are going and when you'll be back. 
• Travel with others and keep your group together.
