This trail is reasonably easy and although it does not reach any summit, it offers great views of the surrounding mountain ranges and Haines Junction. When you reach the highest point of the trail you can continue up through the sub-alpine to alpine areas and the mountain slopes, going off trail. This trail is also used by hikers who want to climb Quill Peak, Mt Martha Black and many of the other peaks in the Auriol Range.
The Auriol trail is a full day loop cut through mixed boreal forest and leads to a sub-alpine bench just in front of the Auriol Range. Depending on your fitness (or motivation) level, it is possible to extend the hike and visit the sub-alpine area.
