Beaver Creek Trailhead #2161 is one of the closest Forest Service recreation sites to Rifle, located just 9.5 miles from the roundabout just south of I-70. \u00a0It\u2019s a great hike all four season of the year, however, you\u2019ll need snowshoes in the winter\u00a0months.<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The trailhead is located 9.4 miles from the roundabout just\u00a0south of the I-70 overpass. \u00a0Start by turning right at the roundabout (7th St), which turns in Garden Lane, which leads into County Road 320. Continue up on to Taugenbaugh Mesa to County Road 317. Turn left on 317 to Forest District Road 824 and follow the signs to the Beaver Creek Trailhead. \u00a0Keep in mind that it\u2019s 4 miles from the roundabout just south of I-70 to the dirt road, and another 5.5 miles from the start of the dirt road to the trailhead parking area.\u00a0<\/p>

From the trailhead parking area, hikers can cross Beaver Creek and follow for 1.2 miles to the top of the ridge. The incline to the ridge is pretty moderate, but it\u2019ll get your blood pumping. \u00a0From there, you can descend into the West Mamm Drainage\u00a0or stay on top of the ridge to explore the Battlement Mesa, or link up with the Battlement Trail. \u00a0This is truly a beautiful trail that can be enjoyed by the entire family. \u00a0<\/p>
