Elliot's Ridge TH #1889

The Elliot Ridge Trail provides panoramic views of the area including the Gore Range. The trail is an old double-track road that follows a broad ridge and enters the Eagles Nest Wilderness Area. Meridian Peak is near the end of the ridge and is a great destination. Another option is connecting with the Upper Cataract/Mirror Lake trail and dropping down into the Cataract drainage. High alpine meadows and exposed rock exist throughout the Elliott Ridge area.
