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.

      It’s a good haul down the double track from the forest road before you actually turn onto single track trail. Good time!

      Don't leave your car parked on the road at the bottom of Elijah Too. You will get a ticket. You need to park in the boat launch area.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
