Auriol Trail

The Auriol Trail backcountry campground sits at roughly the halfway point of the 15 km loop trail in Kluane National Park and Reserve, Yukon, near the 7. 3–7. 5 km mark.

It offers four gravel tent pads, a fire pit, a pit toilet, and a bear-proof food-hanging pole. Auriol Creek runs directly beside the campground, providing a reliable water source — bring a filter or purification tablets.

The trail to the campground climbs through a mix of poplar, spruce, and pine forest before opening into sub-alpine terrain above Haines Junction.

At the 2 km junction, hikers can choose either fork; the left fork is more gradual and passes a small lake along Auriol Creek, while the right fork is 500 m shorter but more rugged.

Parks Canada requires registration for all backcountry overnight trips in the park. The campground also serves as a base for those pursuing more ambitious objectives in the Auriol Range, including routes toward Auriol Peak.
