This hiking trail has a total elevation difference of 1,845 feet which is about average. This is a two-ended hiking trail with two trailheads which means you have the option of backcountry hiking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. This walk should take you about 2.5 days, so better have big a backpack to fit all the stuff you need. At parts of the year this region sees very little rain, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. Elk Lake Trail is 17 miles long; it's longer than many hiking trails. This is a long great outdoors trail, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. This hiking trail goes through some very different elevations, and that means that some parts of the hiking trail could be very different from other parts of it.
