Overview
It's a steep but short hike to the top of Elk Mountain , so if you want a longer outing, continue along the ridge behind the summit. There's actually a higher point on the ridge and a few spots which will offer views. Bear in mind that some basic scrambling (using your hands) is involved on short sections of this route. For an easy return, take the old road bed which runs down the West Fork Elk Creek and then Elk Creek itself. If this doesn't seem like a strenuous enough endeavor, take a look at the Elk Mountain-Kings Mountain Loop Hike , which loops in the other direction.
