New London #928 switchbacks up from Elliott Creek to the ridge, the mixed hardwood and coniferous forest makes for a lovely understory ecosystem which supports a variety of species from White Trillium (Trillium ovatum) to a delicate endemic plant such as the Applegate Gooseberry (Ribes marshallii), to the rarer Rock Fern (Aspidotis densa). A loop can be made by following Elliott Ridge along the Stein Butte trail to its trailhead at Seattle Bar and walking the 3 mile section of road back to the New London trailhead.
