Before doing so, we passed by Kluane Lake.

Biggest lake in Yukon. Unfortunately didn't spend a lot of time there to explore because it was 40s outside with wind chill, and rainstorm was passing.
WOW!Kluane Lake...that jogged my memory. When my wife and I road-tripped up there in 2006. We stopped there. We left Oregon the weekend before Memorial Day, so my memory is that by the time we would have got up to Kluane Lake it would have been early June. Here's what we saw of the lake that day ..... Brrrrr !
We were quite surprised to discover it wasn't fully thawed out yet. Obviously we didn't know much about the climate up there.
If I remember right, all that ice in the foreground is the result of wind-driven spray freezing up.
Probably folks who live around the Great Lakes see stuff like this in the winter.
