== Route Description==
<!-- Detailed description of the route. Is there any side trails that are worth traveling? -->
The blue blazed trail has a tough start staying between private properties and avoiding briars. It is more
established and marked once it crosses the very small drainage for the second time.  Primarily a horse trail which had signs of maintenance to secure the tread. Part of the trail has been bulldozed for unknown construction on a lower part of the ridge line.

== Typical Conditions ==
<!-- Typical conditions throughout the year of what to expect on the trail. Rocky, muddy, sandy, flowers, lots of downed trees?  -->
 

== Fees, Permits, etc. ==
<!-- Please list any Fees, Permits, Regulations, etc. that may be required on this trail.-->
No fees or restrictions.

== After the Hike ==
<!-- Other things to check out while you're in the area. Restaurants, attractions, monuments, etc... -->


== Misc. Information ==
<!-- Enter any additional information that doesn't fit an any other fields. Any seasonal features, factoids, etc...? -->
Conclusion is that there is an Elk Park Trail, but it is being lost to development around the trailhead and on the lower ridge.
