There are shorter rides you can do in Kluane National Park such as the Auriol Trail; a 15km loop with an elevation gain of 367m. You can make the Auriol loop longer by dropping bikes and hiking into the alpine at the top of the loop. Park directions are comprehensive as is signage and compared to the Cottonwood the Auriol is a pleasant ramble although one that is heavily frequented by grizzlies. Keep the noise level and alertness high The views into the Ruby Range are astoundingly good bang for the buck and most of the loop is totally rideable. The singletrack descent in particular is of high quality. Best ridden in clockwise direction to avoid steep switchback section.

Nice, easy steady trail. A bit of a washout at the tip near the campsites but still relatively easy to navigate. Did not see any bears but saw...

      Seeing root reports we almost didn't bike this trail. So glad we didn't listen! Yes, there are roots. about a gazillion of them. But since they're very small its really not an issue on a full sus bike. Other than that its mostly a dark green trail, except on small part of the descent if you do it clockwise (wich you should!).

      As commented before: you really should love roots ;-). But totally rideable if you go clockwise. And the downhill was unexpectedly so much fun . Would recommend when dry but not when wet !

      Techy but fairly mellow ascent and very fun descent. I'd say this on the more challenging end of a blue trail but very rideable and very beautiful! The views are absolutely spectacular. Must ride clockwise!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
