Elk Mountain

Elk Mountain is a short scramble off a good US Forest Service road.  The scramble is mostly on a ridge through an old clearcut that has in places heavy ceanothus brush.  Wood ticks can be abundant in the spring. 

There are scattered trees on the summit to suspend wire antennas.

At the parking area there is a game trail paralleling and on the north side of an old skid road.  It provides good access through the ceanothuse bush field after it crosses the old skid trail.  From there it is a steeper scramble to the summit. 

Nice Trail Hike in Glacier NP (3.4 mi, +3,400 ft)
