Need to Know

Not much parking at the trailhead, but just down the road is a parking area for 4-mile Park that can be used. Maps posted on USDA and Recreation.gov websites are not accurate, but their descriptions/directions are.

Trail is open to horses and cattle and dogs are allowed off-leash. Ride with caution.

Description

This trail offers a pleasant and scenic bike ride, is dog friendly, and is only a few minutes from Glenwood Springs.

The trail follows Beaver Creek out of 4-mile Park, climbs a ridge and drops into the Yank Creek drainage. The trail is not built as a mountain bike trail (no berms) but is still very usable for mountain bikes.

Directions: From Glenwood Springs, travel on County Road #117 approximately 11 miles. Before you reach Sunlight Ski Area, follow the gravel Road #300 to the right for four miles until you reach 4-mile park. Continue on Road #300 to the south end of the park.

Just before reaching the timber, you'll notice a bulletin board on the left side of the road. This bulletin board is the trailhead for the Beaver Creek Trail. This trail can also be accessed via the natural gas pipeline located five miles beyond 4-mile Park on Road #300. The pipeline is closed to motor vehicle travel (including ATV).
