Trail Overview

This 1.6-mile easy ATV trail connects the Elfendahl Staging Area to the start of Mission Creek Trail. It begins as a wide path through a logged area with uneven terrain, occasional whoops, gravel, and small loose rock. The route features gradual curves and open visibility--ideal for beginners. As the trail enters the forest, it tightens slightly while winding between spruce trees and dense ferns, with some embedded roots and rocks. Scenic touches include fields of purple foxglove and potential deer sightings. Expect dusty conditions, especially in dry weather.
