Mount Logan Peak
Mount Logan rises to 9,087 ft in Pacific-Ranges within the Cascade Range range.
Located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range, it is situated in the southwest Yukon, surrounded by the immense beauty of Kluane National Park and Reserve. Mount Logan boasts an expansive size, with a base circumference of approximately 200 kilometers (124 miles) and a summit plateau covering an area of about 25 square kilometers (9.7 square miles).
During the winter season, Mount Logan experiences a substantial snowpack range. Snow accumulations can reach up to several meters, making it a popular destination for winter mountaineering enthusiasts. The mountain's snowpack is known to be highly variable, often encountering strong winds and intense storms that result in challenging climbing conditions.
Several creeks and rivers benefit from the runoff of Mount Logan's melting glaciers. These include the Alsek River, Donjek River, and Kaskawulsh River. The glacial runoff not only provides a water source for these waterways but also contributes to the stunning landscapes of the surrounding area.
The name "Mount Logan" was given to honor Sir William Edmond Logan, a Canadian geologist. It was named by the famous Canadian explorer George Mercer Dawson during his 1883 survey. Interestingly, there are no known legends or significant lore associated with Mount Logan. Instead, it is revered for its sheer size, majestic beauty, and the immense challenges it poses for mountaineers.
