Elden Spring
A pleasant and convenient spot to bird in town along the southern base of Mount Elden. Many trails traverse the area. Habitat is dry with large cliffrose, pinyon, and juniper, with some small rocky draws at the base of the mountain. Also some early settler history in the area; keep your eyes out for interpretive signs.
