About this place

The Elliot Ridge Trail provides panoramic views of the area including the Gore Range. The trail is an old double-track road that follows a broad ridge and enters the Eagles Nest Wilderness Area. Meridian Peak is near the end of the ridge and is a great destination. Another option is connecting with the Upper Cataract/Mirror Lake trail and dropping down into the Cataract drainage. High alpine meadows and exposed rock exist throughout the Elliott Ridge area.* There is a printable Recreation Quicksheet for this trail which is complete with directions, a map, details, and other information about this trail. Or to see quicksheets for other recreation areas across the Forest, click on the "Recreation Quicksheets" link in the right column and select the appropriate Ranger District.
