Description

This old fireroad follows the Little Elbow River over Tombstone Pass to Tombstone Backcountry Campground (Mt. Romulus Backcountry Campground is ~7.4mi/11.9km along the trail). There are great views of mounts Romulus, Remus, Glasgow and Tombstone (and for the adventurous, it's a jumping-off point to reach these summits!). This is about half of the popular "Elbow Loop" that connects with Big Elbow Trail.
