Tips

Matthew

March 2, 2023

Elden Mountain (also known as Mount Elden) is Flagstaff's local mountain, towering over 2,000 feet above the city. Climbing this peak will take you through aspen groves, rocky outcrops, and the remains of a burned forest. The tower at the top is not to be climbed, but you are still exposed to 360 views from the peak and saddle.
