Glen Aulin is a glen about one mile long along the Tuolumne River in Yosemite National Park, California, at an elevation of 7,800 feet, upriver from the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne. Its name, from Gaelic for a beautiful valley, was suggested by James McCormick of the United States Geographic Board to R.B. Marshall of the US Geological Survey, and the glen is home to the Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp, a destination for backpackers in the Sierra Nevada.
