About this place

The Centennial Trailhead is located near the Forest Boundary at the end of County Road 241. This trailhead provides access to East Elk Trail #1841. From here, users can follow the East Elk Trail to its intersection with Spring Creek Trail at 2.0 miles. Both trails are open to foot and horse travel. This trailhead is also the access point for climbing in East Elk Canyon. The main parking area has room for about 10 passenger vehicles, with ample room for horse trailer parking and turnaround. During the summer travel management period (May 20-November 23), vehicles can proceed past the main parking lot and drive 1.5 miles to the end of Forest Road 654. Please note that FR-654 is rough and narrow, and there is only room for 2-3 vehicles at the end of the road.
