Elk Mountain and Kings Mountain are two popular hiking destinations in the Oregon Coast range. The trails are a little more rugged than typical Columbia River Gorge or Mount Hood trails. They are lower elevation than Mount Hood hikes so they are possible in the winter when Mount Hood trails are snowed in. This hike is done with a car shuttle. We'll drop a car at Kings, and then shuttle over to the Elk Creek Trailhead and start from that location.
