About the trail

Red Elephant trail climbs to Red Elephant Hill. The trail is steep, rocky on the side of the mountain. Thee are 3-4 main obstacles that will get your heart pumping.  Some obstacles make you drive to the edge of the trail avoiding trees or rocks. Steep inclines with tree roots and 4 switchbacks  will make you very tippy and exposed.

At the top you can connect to Empire Loop. Lots of mining history, cabins and mines thru the tick forest. It is a full day trail for experience drivers.

Booking an individual trail is not possible due to weather conditions, driver experience level, etc.

Please book a tour and we will consult with you on the best trails for your reservation date!
