We've vowed to track our hikes here (again). Starting the new year off right with this little gem. We've never been to the Spur Cross area before, and we're definitely going back for more! We were going to do a different loop, but the guy at the pay station recommended Elephant Mountain - it certainly did not disappoint! Plus, with a completely packed parking lot, we encoutered zero people once we were on the actual EM trail portions. I recommend doing this loop counter-clockwise, the view at the saddle is a nice reward for the steep uphill getting there, and the gentle downhill at the end of the loop is a welcome cool-down.
