Trail Overview

Beckler Peak starts as a beautiful, well-groomed trail with minimal potholes. After about a mile when you begin to go up in elevation, there are ruts throughout the road from the snowmelt. It is easy enough to find a line, but you do have to switch from side to side frequently. There are a few sections of potholes, but nothing too bad. Look for lots and lots of waterfalls on the left. This trail during spring/summer is heavily overgrown with lush foliage, so expect some pinstripes in spots. There also is not much of a view as a result of the thickness of the forest.

Difficulty

This trail can be run by virtually any 4x4 and even 2WD during spring/summer. There's nothing technical besides potholes and ruts that are easy to navigate.

History

The trail opened in 2011, and hiking Jennifer Dunn Trailhead at the end of this trail gives you stunning views of Glacier Peak, Baring, Index, and the Monte Cristo Range.

Just an addition to my previous trail update. OnX wouldn’t let me edit to add pics of the washout so here they are. In a follow up post

Air down for comfort, but not at all necessary. Came to get some pics of the washout. Definitely passable, but would suggest caution. Used 93 f-150 all stock except for Mud tires.

Trail (Forest service Rd) is very easy. Any 4x4 can navigate it with no concern. Most 2WD can also handle the trail with little concern. The washout is still there however it is very passable but do so with cautious and at your own risk. Trailhead was empty when we arrived, vaulted toilet open. Noticed a couple small belly crawlers but they were much more afraid of us then we were of them. Safe travels.

At the powerline section there is a massive 5ft+ washout that makes passing impossible.
