Re: 480 and 481 along river at Elk Park, 8-17-2019

The hike to the view point overlooking Elk Park starts at the big Colorado Trail parking lot about a mile north of Molas Pass. The trail runs about a mile thru open meadows and then drops thru forest to the Animas River trail bridge. The viewpoint in the photos is about half way down to river where the trail meets the rocky hillside. From there it is a scramble to open viewpoints north of the trail. Hiking distance is about 2 - 2.5 miles one way, with a good bit of elevation gain on the return hike.
