Beaver Meadows Trail #44

Trailhead Location: From Evergreen, take the Upper Bear Creek Road for 10 miles to the Mount Evans State Wildlife Management Area, then travel another five miles to the Camp Rock State Campground.

Within a mile of the trailhead, a scenic meadow opens up with beaver ponds dotting the area. Climbing slowly, you head into the trees before coming to another meadow. This is where the Resthouse Meadows Fire burned 1,076 acres in 1964. The Resthouse Meadows Fire is believed to have been human-caused.
