This mountain is clearly visible from Dakwằkằda (Haines Junction). The old people say that if you are going to Kluane Lake, check Nàday Gän. It serves as a weather forecaster, which is important because storms can come up quickly on Kluane and create dangerous boating conditions. Sam Williams explained that if the clouds point north there will be a south wind, while if they point south there will be a north wind. The Jacquot Brothers who ran a freight service on the wagon road from Champagne to Burwash used the mountain as a weather guide while hauling freight in the area and especially before boating on Kluane Lake.
