Activity Notes

This is a tough loop with a decent amount of up and down traversing between Elk and King. There is some exposure on this trail and light scrambling. Views are very nice at Elk and King summits. Come physically prepared. I expect group pace to be somewhere between 1.5 - 2.5 mph. General route is on all trails: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/oregon/elk-mountain-to-kings-mountain-loop. I will provide a detailed map of our route a week from the hike. Plan to meet at Target near 8:15 am, leave at 8:30 am, and get to the trailhead around 9:30 am. We will start at Elk Mtn. trailhead and end at Kings Mtn. Trailhead.
