Route Description for Sandy Seep Trail
Sandy Seep Trail is a hike that leads you through the trees and along the fields underneath Elden Mountain and Little Elden Mountain. This hike is easy, scenic, and good for all skill levels.

There are a lot of interconnecting trails in this area, so consider bringing a GPS route or map if you’re unfamiliar with the routes. Mountain bikers, as the name suggests, you may find this trail too sandy to bike effectively.
