Route and access notes

A high, exposed point-to-point trail along Oregon's Elkhorn Mountains between Anthony Lakes and Marble Pass.

Planning this route

The Forest Service identifies Elkhorn Crest Trail #1611 as a National Recreation Trail. Current local planning material describes a 22.5-mile Anthony Lakes–Marble Pass route; the refreshed connected source relation measures 36.8 km and matches that complete corridor.

Access and source limitations

This is difficult, remote high-country travel with long exposed sections, scarce water on the crest and seasonal snow. Marble Pass access can require a high-clearance vehicle; a shuttle or out-and-back plan is needed.
