Using operations with integers, it is found that the elevation at the end of the trail is of 8,414 feet.

We initially take the initial elevation, and then:

Thus, operations of sum and subtraction with integers are used to find the final elevation.

From the listed points on the problem, the operations are given as follows:

-174, 350, -180, +282.

The trail begins at an elevation of 8136 feet, hence the final point can be found as follows:

8136 - 174 + 350 - 180 + 282 = 8414 feet.

The elevation at the end of the trail is of 8,414 feet.
