Elk Ridge

The Manti-La Sal National Forest in central Utah has some of the most diverse terrains in the southwestern United States. One moment you will be in the red rocks of the desert, and almost magically you're in the pines and aspens of the mountains. Elk Ridge is an overlanders dream that travels through dense forest with sporadic views of the canyons within the Dark Canyon Wilderness area. The trail is remote, the camping is primitive and the nights are tranquil. The only sounds you're likely to hear, are the bugles of elk.
