Hiking the Elk Mountain Trail in the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge

Taking a break and enjoying the view after a long hike to the top.

 

I picked up this cheap pack because I realized last minute my other pack wasn't going to work for this trip. I didn't have the time to wait on an online order from REI. The bag worked out nicely. Time well tell how long it will last.

 

The Elk Mountain Trail in the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge is a 2.3 mile there and back trail that features wildflowers and scenic views of the refuge as you make your way to the top of the mountain. According to AllTrails, the trail is rated at moderate and is heavily trafficked.
