Beaver Mtn Loop Trail, Rocky Mountain National Park

Longs Peak from the Beaver Mtn Trail

Trail Description:
This loop trail begins in the montane zone of the Upper Beaver Meadows in Rocky Mountain National Park. Hike south with Longs Pk in front of you, across the west end of the meadows and into the trees. Follow trail signs for Trail Ridge Rd as this is also the start of the Ute trail. The Beaver Mt trail branches off at 1.5 miles and cuts back north on the lower slope of Beaver Mtn. There's a terrific rock outcrop about half way on the loop affording fantastic views in all directions.

How To Get There:
Take the main road into the National Park from the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center and turn left at the first switchback. Take this lesser road all the way to the end to the Upper Beaver Meadows trailhead parking area.
