| We took another trip to Staunton State Park because we heard about the new trails they have been creating and improving. This was a not too hot day to go as some of the park is exposed to sun without alot of tree cover. |
 |
| Last time we hiked through, most of the Staunton Ranch trail (shortest to get to the waterfall) was mostly gravel road. Since then they have constructed new a new trail through the trees to keep you off the road. Part is still the road toward the end. Here you can see the road section. |
 |
| They have also added some restrooms along this trail- 2 in addition to the one at the start. |
 |
| Approaching Elks Pond from Bugling Elk Trail. |
 |
| Another view of the Pond. |
 |
| We like to sit here and have lunch. This time we saw a Marmot sunning himself on a rock. |
  |
| The Lion'sBack Trail up to the overlook is a bit steep. The views are worth it when you get to the top. Below you can see views of neighboring mountains and the falls far away. |
 |
| The Total miles were about 11 to get to the overlook . I highly recommend the Marmot Passage on the way back. |
