North Elk Cutoff Road - FS 248

This trail breaks off Forest Service Road 245 and begins with 12–18-inch ruts on mostly fine dirt that can become extremely sticky when wet. At 0.1 miles, a large, private campsite can accommodate up to 12 vehicles or multiple trailers and fifth wheels. Another campsite at 0.3 miles fits two vehicles and is shaded by tall aspens. Farther into the forest, the trail becomes more challenging, with 18–20-inch ruts and 10–15 degree off-camber sections while weaving through dense aspen trees and hills. Not camper-friendly beyond the first 0.1 miles. The trail connects to additional routes in the area.
