Located near Oregon Caves National Monument, you can access the trail to Mount Elijah from within the boundaries of the monument itself, starting at the visitor center. The hike from begins and ends along the popular Big Tree Trail, where you climb through lush forests and past marble formations, offering glimpses of the unique geology and diverse plant life of the Klamath-Siskiyou region. The region is rich in biodiversity, featuring coniferous forests, alpine meadows, and wildlife such as black bears and deer. As part of the geologically complex Klamath-Siskiyou region, Mount Elijah is composed of ancient rocks and is a popular destination for hiking and camping.
