Monarch Mountain Trail is the most popular hiking route in the Atlin region, originating near Atlin Lake at a marked pull-out 3. 7 km along Warm Bay Road. The trail runs approximately 5.

3 km to the summit of Monarch Mountain, gaining around 700 metres in elevation over a steady upward climb. From the top, hikers are rewarded with sweeping 360-degree views of Atlin Lake, Atlin Mountain, and Teresa Island on clear days.

The summit plateau also contains two small lakes used for spiritual activities by Indigenous peoples; visitors are asked to give those areas respectful space.

The trail sits within the Monarch Mountain/A X̲eegí Deiyí Conservancy and falls within the traditional territory of the Taku River Tlingit First Nation.
