The Saint Elias Lake Trail takes you on a journey through stunning Yukon wilderness, winding through forest and rocky ridges before reaching the tranquil waters of Saint Elias Lake. Along the way, you’ll be surrounded by towering peaks, the crisp, clean air of the Yukon backcountry, and wildflowers during summer. It’s a challenging yet rewarding hike, each step upward brings broader views, culminating in a sweeping panorama at the lake that makes the effort truly worthwhile.

You could spend hours strolling along the shore of this large, beautiful lake, with new views opening up time and time again. Unfortunately, the adjacent trails were closed due to bears.

This small lake, right on the trail, offers great photo opportunities. A bench for a rest is nearby.

A wonderful trail through stunning scenery with views of the mountains and, at the end, Haines Junction. Bear territory!

The trailhead of the Auriol Trail is just off the Haines Highway, 7 km south of Haines Junction. The well-trodden path leads through a mixed boreal coniferous forest (cold-temperate forest) with a slight incline. Further up, the circular hike goes through wetlands with small lakes to the sub-alpine zone, where you have a wonderful view of the mountains of the 'Auriol Range', especially the peaks of 'Mount Martha Black'. The trail is marked - with kilometer information. In spring you have to reckon with deep snow conditions on the path when descending on the west side. https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/yt/kluane/activ/randonnee-hiking/auriol

The beautifully situated Lake Mät'àtäna Män (Kathleen Lake) is south of Haines Junction on the Haines Highway. Kathleen Lake is one of the national park's main attractions with opportunities for hiking and recreation. There is a well-maintained campsite near the lake with toilets and access to fresh drinking water. https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/yt/kluane/visit/services/kathleen

The trail to Situk Lake can be very wet and muddy, although the section from the East Gate trailhead to the Situk Lake cabin usually has the most maintenance and improvements to help deal with those wet conditions. As you reach the lakeshore, on clear days you might be lucky enough to see the massive, triangular peak of 18,008-foot (5,489 m) Mount Saint Elias in the distance. Heads up: When fish are running in the Situk River, you have much higher odds of encountering bears near the water.
