Description

From the Elk Meadow Trailhead, keep left from the start. The trail winds through grasslands to the west and gradually gains in elevation.

The first junction you come to will be the Elk Ridge Trail, so keep left to stay on the Sleepy S Trail.

After another 0.6 miles, you'll come to a junction with the Meadow View Trail, where the Sleepy S Trail will terminate.

Flora & Fauna

Elk are often present in the surrounding open space meadows.
