Elijah is an intermediate trail which connects FR 263, Bald Eagle, and Long House Scenic Drive.

From FR 263 to the junction with Bald Eagle, this is a fun rolling trail, which short uphill and downhill sections and lots of rocky sections. After the junction with Bald Eagle, this is a ripping, flowy descent, with a few tabletops, rock gardens, and trail features. Once the trail re-connects with Bald Eagle, the trail gains in steepness and is a great final descent to Long House Scenic Drive.

This trail is also often used as a climbing route after descending Bald Eagle and is a nice climb, not too steep, and finishes with a tough uphill rock garden just before reaching to top of Bald Eagle.
