The Aerial Approach disc golf course is located in the Elk Camp Meadows area, with the first tee near the top of the enclosed surface lift. It is easily accessed by following the gravel path past the Lost Forest Headquarters. If you have any questions, please speak with a Lost Forest employee and they would be happy to point you in the right direction.

The second, longer course is located on the west side of the mountain. To get to the first tee it takes about 30 minutes to walk from Base Village. For directions, please ask at Four Mountain Sports in the base. Participants will need to bring their own discs for this course.
