The Elk when heading along the Mohawk Trail traveling East to West is just below the peak of the Whitcombe Summit and the easiest to turnoff the highway to the area where the Elk resides. From West to East you will have hit Whitcomb Summit and begin the decline of the road heading into the curve. A little more treacherous since you will be crossing the Mohawk Trail into on coming traffic. Either way it is worth the stop. In addition to paying homage to the Elk, there is a great view of the countryside.
