Hiking
Just below the peak of Elden Moutain, Sunset Trail runs parallel to Elden Lookout Road. The trail has unobstructed views back towards the peak, and there are a lot of different spur trails and trail intersections along this path so that you create different loops and routes.

Beautiful trail on the ridges. I recommend going up to the Fire Lookout by the Elden Lookout Trail, then taking this SunSet trail, then at the intersection take the Heart Trail on the right, to then join the Christmas Tree Trail which finishes the loop.
