Hiking kluane s slims river west trail
The Slims River (A'ay Chu) was a glacially fed river in the Canadian territory of Yukon. Until 2016, it originated in the Kaskawulsh Glacier, then ran approximately 15 mi (24 km) into the southern terminus of Kluane Lake.
The Slims River was purportedly named after a pack horse that drowned while attempting to ford the stream during the 1903 Kluane gold rush. It is crossed by the Alaska Highway at Mile 1065 (Kilometer 1704) just south of its confluence with the lake.
