Kings Throne Peak

Kings Throne Peak is a 1,990-metre mountain in Yukon’s Kluane National Park, rising above the south shore of Kathleen Lake in the Dalton Range of the Saint Elias Mountains. Visible from the Haines Highway, it climbs about 1,250 metres above the lake and is named for its throne-like shape, created by a cirque on its north side. A rock glacier descends from that cirque toward the lake, adding to the peak’s striking glacial landscape. The mountain is also a popular hiking destination, with a steep trail to the amphitheatre below the summit and a further route along the east ridge to the top.
