The longtime home to several fine moderate routes in the 1-3 pitch range and once a popular destination for instructors from the nearby scout camp, Elephant Knob suffered significant damage in a 2002 wildfire. Despit now-sketchy rock and fixed gear, the area is still home to a very fine swimming hole with waterfall, several small water slides and moderate bouldering along the creek.
No Access Issues
The McNally fire, which burned more than 150,000 acres in the surrounding area burned up and over Elephant Knob. Trees and rappel slings more than 100 feet off the ground were burned. The intense heat of the fire did significant damage to the rock itself. A 1/4 to 1/2" thick skin of granite exfoliated from much of the dome and clung perilously to the walls. As of 2004, much of this skin had still not fallen off and posed a serious threat to prospective climbers.
