Trail Overview
If you're looking for solitude, enjoy this old cattle trail all the way up and over Elkhorn Mountain. There is an option to explore the old Elkhorn Mine, as well as places to camp at the start of the trail. The Forest Service may be rerouting this trail, so make sure to follow signs and stay on designated trails. Elkhorn Mountain trail is open mid June through November, depending on the weather.

The trail as shown on the map was not passable. At a point we should have went to the left, according to the map, there was no trail showing at all. We followed what was available. When we got to what the map showed as a dead end the trail, which seemed like a widened 50 or 60” trail, kept going and eventually rejoined Elkhorn and we followed it to the end when it joined 129. If possible I could somehow send or upload my track showing the route we took.
