The Elkhorn Crest Trail is the highest trail in the Blue Mountains. Along the way you'll see sub-alpine forests, grasslands, and eventually make your way up to Elkhorn Ridge where the terrain will get increasingly rocker and beautiful. The trail is hardest at the beginning, but luckily levels off after 2 miles or so.
