Beaver Creek Trail

This is a great hike that starts at the Beaver Creek Trailhead just west of Brainard Lake. Wildflowers, beautiful open tundra, and spectacular views to the plains and Mount Audubon are the main attractions of this hike. You can easily make this a two- to three-day hike and explore the trails near the Coney Flats Trailhead. Trail conditions: The lower section of the trail is well traveled, and the middle section is quite rocky as it cuts through open tundra on the way down to the Coney Flats Trailhead.
