- Klinaklini River
The Klinaklini River is one of the major rivers of the
Pacific Ranges section of theCoast Mountains inBritish Columbia . It begins in the northern basins of thePantheon Range to the north ofMount Waddington and briefly heads northeast onto the Chilcotin Plateau before bending around northwestwards to turn around south, reaching its mouth at the head ofKnight Inlet after c.200 km. The brief but voluminous West Klinaklini River (7 km only) joins the Klinaklini in its lower reaches, and is the meltwater from theKlinaklini Glacier , the main tongue of the vastHa-Iltzuk Icefield (Silverthrone Glacier ), which lies west of the Klinaklini. To the east of the Klinaklini in the same area is theWaddington Range .A different spelling of "Klinaklini" is Kleena Kleene, which is the name of a
First Nations community on the river just below its exist from thePantheon Range onto the Chilcotin Plateau. The area of Kleena Kleene is one where the Klinaklini, Homathko andChilanko River basins share the same stretch of plateau.External links
