Elk Mountain

Elk Mountain is about finding a diverse overland experience and enjoying the solitude. Traveling from the colorful desert down low to the green pines in the higher elevations, you'll have a unique and memorable offroad experience. The trail is ideal for adventurers looking to escape the crowds and take their time soaking in the scenery. The road is well maintained, but you will want to take it slow to take it all in. If you're planning on loading up on supplies in Blanding, you can hit the trails for a multi-day adventure by connecting all way up to Beef Basin and Canyonlands in the north or the remote Hite in the south. Filled with plenty of scenic opportunities and several options for star-filled camping, be sure to plan a few days of adventure for this trail and all its optional connecting routes.
