Beaver Summit Road - FS 4230

Trail Overview

This forest road starts off gravel-based and wide with bumpy washboard sections. About halfway, the trail transitions to dirt with a few gravel patches. The further you travel, the trail gets narrower, and the vegetation becomes overgrown. Ultimately, you end up on mostly two-track with no room to pass. There are switchbacks and turns with ledges and drop-offs, as well as some dips and humps up to a foot. There are minor ruts and washouts, but overall the trail is easy and suitable for any vehicle type. There are great views of the surrounding peaks as you wind up this shelf-style road. Camping is available along this entire route, and the trail dead ends at a large dispersed campsite. The cell phone service was weak, and there are no amenities along the trail, so it would be beneficial to download the offline map. The town of Winthrop, Washington, is the closest town with services and supplies, approximately 30 minutes away.
