See All Things to Do. See All Itineraries. The Alaska Highway goes along the south side of the lake and carries many travelers year-round.
The Kluane gold rush probably brought the first non-native settlers to the area. Shortly after they began building cabins for the families from the upper White and Donjek River area who would stop to trade during their seasonal rounds.
Eventually these families settled here. The lower water level also meant that the island in this section of the lake was no longer an island. Since we ended up not hiking Sheep Creek trail because it turned out to be really windy and overcast, we hiked out to the island from the Alaska Highway instead. On our hike back out we came across four cyclists riding across the lakebed. I instantly knew they were part of the Texas group that I had seen on the road a couple of days before on my way to Whitehorse.
Eager to learn more about them, I stopped them to chat. They turned out to be University of Texas undergrad and grad students on a bike tour from Austin to Anchorage.
The Texas is a competitive month long program. The students are actively involved in all the aspects of planning the ride. The event is focused on raising money for cancer research. There are three routes to choose from: the Sierra, the Rockies and the Ozark route. Step back into the days of the Klondike Gold Rush.
