Eryn's Tips:
You need to book permits for this if you are planning on backpacking and you must have a bear barrel with you to complete it! Before the hike you need to go to the Tombstone Interpretive Centre to check in and get a debrief of the hike!
You can do the 5km trail to Mount Monolith Viewpoint which is the first 2.5km of the trail! It is absolutely stunning in the fall (early August) and if you go on a weekend there are usually many other people out hiking so I have always felt super safe on the trail!
This is a challenging trail and if you are planning on going to Divide and Talus you must be comfortable hiking down scree slopes and with wayfinding.
