About this campground

Trailhead kiosk and info is on a road paralleling the Price River. The road up Mount Elliot was originally constructed to get a drilling rig up on Beckworth Plateau. It has not been maintained since making it a challenging climb for hikers, mtn bikers, ATVers, or full size trucks. The trail does not actually make it to the top of Mount Elliot. Close enough that a few hundred yards hiking and ledge climbing will get you there though. The view is awesome. 2400 feet of cliff will do that.

Getting there

Elliot Mesa Trailhead is located approximately 5 miles west of Woodside, UT. Please contact the Price Field Office for driving directions.
