    From this stretch, the view into the Black Elk Wilderness opens up, revealing rugged granite spires rising above the dense pine forest. The distant ridgelines and high-country terrain are a striking contrast to the lower hills. It’s the kind of view that makes you stop and appreciate the breathtaking scenery that surrounds you in this remote wilderness.
