Comments
Comments: We were able to drive almost to the high point on Elephant Mtn Rd. in my Nissan Rouge. There were a couple of real sketchy spots. Doubt very much a car could make up in it's currant state.

Stated by following the old which finally narrowed to a herd path then nothing. We some how went to the NE Elephant high point first. Had to do some pretty nasty whacking back to the col then up to the SW Peak where the canister. We're kind of glad we did because neither of us are convinced that the peak with the canister is the higher of the 2. Got good and wet on this one.
