I've always thought this was one of the greatest place names I've ever heard, and I'm glad to see a page here for it now. Unfortunately, I can't read it closely right now, but I look forward to reading it fully when I have more time. But after just a glimpse, I have to say that the page looks great.
Thanks Bob - I know there's a lot of information there; but I wanted to do a page that would actually be helpful to someone if there were planning on making the trip.
You make this a very enticing objective! I would love to get into this area, but I am afraid most of the climbs are way more than I can handle, but maybe the 5.9 on Unicorn Peak.....hmmm. I am amazed by your LFT trip report, and this logistics page. Very well done indeed! Bravo!

Thanks very much. It's a cool place to go, whether you climb or not. We met a bunch of people who were in there as a side trip from there canoe trip down the Nahanni River. Cheers!
Gr8 information. I went up the LFT last august and I completely agree Kluane is a very good choice for the flight into the lake;Warren and his staff are top notch and yes they will put you to work!(I can still smell the aviation fuel) I drove up to Finlayson from Calgary in a car with tiny wheels that disapeared into the ALCan's potholes(my rear hurts just thinking of that ride!)Stay clear of the drunks in Watson lake too..for real it is messed up.
Parks Canada has been doing a lot of work re-routing the trail from Glacier Lake up to the Cirque to avoid the nasty talus section. I hiked it last year and the new trail is by far the better option.

Re: Nicely Done....Thanks - it is doable; just a little more upfront planning (and of course the money thing).
