White River NF — Blanco RD

Beaver Creek is a 13.8-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near the White River National Forest's Blanco Ranger District. The route features modest elevation gain of 240 feet, making it accessible for hikers of varying fitness levels. The gentle gradient allows for a steady pace across the 6.9-mile approach to the turnaround point. Managed by the White River National Forest, this trail offers an opportunity to explore the natural landscape of the Colorado backcountry. The out-and-back format means hikers will retrace their route on the return journey, allowing for flexibility in how far to venture before turning around. The relatively low elevation gain combined with the moderate distance makes this an ideal option for day hikers looking to spend several hours on the trail without extreme physical demands. Those interested in exploring this area should check current conditions and trail status through the White River National Forest or the Blanco Ranger District before heading out.
