Type: Backcountry or Sidecountry

Description

Follow the fall line to the southeast from the summit of Little Ellis. This will lead you down into steeper terrain that opens into a nice meadow. From the bottom of the meadow, make sure to regain the approach from the NE and return to the car via the Little Ellis Burn summit approach.
