Distance: 51 km
Elevation Gain: 60 m (197 ft)
Time: 3 days
Difficulty: Easy
This trail leads you along the east side of the Slim's River, where you can camp beside a lake and do a day hike towards the Kaskawulsh Glacier. The distance to the camping spot (15 km, 4.5 hours) is shorter than on Slim's River West Trail, and there are no large creeks to cross, making it for an easier option. However, you can't get as close to the Kaskawulsh Glacier as you can on Slim's River West. It is still a fantastic location to camp and day hike with Kluane mountain vistas, and you can see the Kaskawulsh Glacier from camp.

We had very low water levels when we went, so we were able to stick to the right of the creek the whole time and di...

Jasmin on Nines Creek North
Did this hike on July 24th, 2021. We ended up leaving quite late and so only made it to the bottom of Bock's Creek pass to camp. We planned to get up and hike to the final pass in the morning but woke up to rain and low cloud so decided just to head back. Be prepared for lots of creek crossings and ...
