Elk Ridge Mtn

Trail Overview

On a clear day, you can see the Tetons. Don't be surprised if you see Elk. No water crossing. Cell reception available only at the top of Elk Mountain.

Difficulty

This trail is likely to intimidate novice riders, especially this first 50 feet with a moderate loose rock section. The remaining is an intermediate single track switch back through the tree line. On the west side of Elk Mountain the single track has an off camber with west facing exposure. Conservatively rating this section of trail will take around an 1 hour for all the selfies or wildlife photo opportunities, the views are spectacular.
