Elliot Mesa Trailhead

Trailhead kiosk and info is on a road paralleling the Price River. The road up Mount Elliot was originally constructed to get a drilling rig up on Beckworth Plateau. It has not been maintained since making it a challenging climb for hikers, mtn bikers, ATVers, or full size trucks. The trail does not actually make it to the top of Mount Elliot. Close enough that a few hundred yards hiking and ledge climbing will get you there though. The view is awesome. 2400 feet of cliff will do that.
