More rain this morning in Teslin. There wasn't much improvement as we drove north.
It continued to be overcast through Whitehorse. It was still raining when we reached the Pine Lake Yukon gov't campground near Haines Junction so we carried on and thought Kathleen Lake on the Haines Highway would be a good alternative.
Kathleen Lake is within Kluane National Park by the Haines road. We have seen numerous pictures of the lake but had not stopped to visit.

There are numerous hiking trails, including the Cottonwood Trail. This trail can take days to complete but people from the campground headed out on it for just a few hours exercise.

People heading out on the trail were given a good reminder of where they were.

The national park campground is similar to the Yukon government campgrounds in that there are no services. However, the overnight fee was more costly than the Yukon Gov't sites and there was an additional fee of $8.00 per night for firewood. Firewood was free at Yukon Gov't campgrounds.
The campground is not near the lake.
