AIn contrast by other US-american nationalparks, no road was built through the Kluane Nationalpark for the road traffic. We hike the St.Elias Lake Trail, and can experience the rought beauty of the Kluane actual.
In the Kluane Nationalpark there are a lot of sick Sitka spruce. It was summer of 1992 when residents and visitors noticed that many local spruce were dying. The cause was a tiny beetle, hardly as big as a grain of rice. As it had done at different times in various parts of North America's boreal forest,the spruce bark beetle was experiencing a population explosion. Over subsequent summers, people were amazed and concerned about the number of trees this insect was killing. What would stop it?
