Route Description for Beckwith Pass Trail

Perfectly suited for casual hiking enthusiasts and families wanting to explore a longer route, the beautiful woodlands and meadows of the Beckwith Pass Trail will provide plenty of opportunities to take in the natural beauty of the Elk Mountains.

Setting out from the trailhead, you will initially head east to leave the picturesque shores of Lost Lake Slough behind, before turning your direction to the southeast across the rolling hillside. Here, you will stroll through flower strewn meadows and intermittent aspen strands, as you relax in the beauty of nature.

Eventually, the path will converge with the Cliff Creek Trail 840 and take you slightly further uphill to reach the terminus of the route at Beckwith Pass. After taking in the views, you will backtrack along the trail to return to the starting point of your hike.
