    Hiking

    The profile of the mountain, which is about 5,200 feet (1,650 meters) high, is quite reminiscent of an elephant's head, which probably gave it its name.

    Hiking

    This trail is spectacular, with huge rock walls and cliffs (west), views of the La Sal Mountains and plenty of scenery between north and east, never really difficult but impressive, actually no "technical" sections - but impressively very worthwhile!
