The climb back up ox creek, then back down elk mountain really is a great ride
. Thats part of what makes elk such a great climb - once at the top you have a few routing options, all of them beautiful.
Do you know of a peaceful route through Waynesville back to the french broad river? The climb back up ox creek is great, but I wonder if its possible to push on to Waynesville and get back over to the river without too much trouble?
