English
The water in Tän Chù is very silty because it flows from the glacier to the south. The river is very wide. The valley is like a wind tunnel because the prevailing winds come over the coast range and are funnelled through it. There is much sand in the valley. From Kluane Lake people used to travel up the Slims River to the Kaskawulsh River and Jarvis Creek on a seasonal round.
