Mount Decoeli

Nature
Mount Decoeli is a 2,332-metre pyramidal peak in Yukon’s Kluane Ranges, northwest of Haines Junction and visible from the Alaska Highway. Officially named in 1980 for Edmond Treau de Coeli, who accompanied James J. McArthur on the first ascent of Williams Peak in 1908, it is also known to the Southern Tutchone people as Nàday Gän, or Dried Lynx Mountain. Known for its distinct shape and broad summit views into Kluane National Park toward peaks such as Mount Logan, it is climbed as a long, strenuous day hike. Its subarctic setting features cold winters, mild summers, and drainage flowing toward the Kaskawulsh River.
