Distance: 21 km
Elevation Gain: 424 m (1391 ft)
Time: 6.5 hours
Difficulty: Easy
This route follows a horse trail along Foxy Creek and then up to the alpine plateau of Auston Pass in the Blackstone Range of Tombstone Territorial Park. This would be a long day hike to and from the pass, and it is better suited as an overnight/multi-day trip so that you can explore the area around the pass (see extended hiking options below). The views are stunning along the entire route. This pass is also used to access the Blackstone River Valley and Syenite Lakes to the south.

Crocus on M'Clintock: West Ridge
Instructions are not good. Very important details are left out and can make you start at another location. It’s more 7.5-8km after the blue Lewis bridge and on a straight hwy stretch. It’s basically an immediate left from the Swan Haven sign. Gravel pit is old news as it’s over grown now. NOTE...

Ree on Kusawa Ridge
Hiked today, didn't get all the way to the top as it was extremely windy but the trail is nicely dried out and snow-free above the tree line. Still some small snow patches in the woods but easy going, no snowshoes required.

In September 2024, my friends went there. The hiking trail was remarkably easy and enjoyable. The scenery was stunning, and the temperature was not overly cold. Berry picking was another enjoyable activity.
