Great hiking.
From Salem, drive east on State Hwy 22, turn left on North Fork County Road (approximately 24 miles east of Salem). Elkhorn Valley is 8.5 miles up North Fork County Road. Traffic is high during the summer season. Please drive carefully. Be aware of slippery roads during wet and icy weather.
