The Beaver Creek Trail is located in the western Uintah Mountains, which is about 6 miles east of Kamas. In contrast with the area's other trails, the Beaver Creek Trail is free of snow rather early in the season. The altitude is 7,100 feet, with about 500 feet elevation gain over the 4.8 mile trail. The Beaver Creek 4-wheeler Trail begins opposite from the Yellow Pine parking area, which is just before the fee station for the Mirror Lake Highway. Be sure to pay your $3 fee before turning back to park, because if your car is parked there, it is presumed you've gone into the 4-wheeler riding area.
The Beaver Creek Trail is where the valley meets the hillside, passing countless beaver ponds, right in the middle of a beautiful forest mountain landscape. Most of the trail is rather easy to ride due to it being mostly flat, hard packed dirt, save for the initial tough hill at the beginning and a few rocky areas. The official end of the trail is where the Pine Valley Trail forks off to the right. If you go a fourth of a mile down the pine Valley trail, you can hook up with some other trails.
The Beaver Creek 4-wheeler Trail is the perfect spot for a first time trail ride, or for a short 4-wheeler ride with your kids. If you want more of a challenge, there are more technical 4-wheeler trails that are uphill at several places along the Beaver Creek Trail.
The Beaver Creek Trail isn't just for 4-wheeler riding, so remember to be be courteous when you pass hikers, bicycles fishermen, hunters, campers, or horseback riders on the trail. As always, remember to be respectful of the wildlife and the forest, and don't do anything that might hurt or damage the trail or an animal while riding on the Beaver Creek Trail. Be safe, and have a fun time riding your 4-wheeler on the Beaver Creek Trail.
