Started at Hwy 6, at the bottom of Chimney Gulch and hiked to Genesee, turned around and hike back. 22 miles total (accidently took a path to Mt Vernon Country Club...grr) and what a great trip. Would recommend this hike to anyone with the stamina.

Those are great days where you're likely to only see a half dozen people and spend the majority of your day enjoying nature.<br /><br />This is one of the few well marked hiking trails close to town where you can spend a lot of time without seeing anybody.Matthttp://www.trailparkreviews.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818644720083419532.post-7719782943323614082011-05-10T09:14:03.091-06:002011-05-10T09:14:03.091-06:00The Beaver Brook is a great trail.

Two years ago we had to make it just a 5 miles out-n-back as we encountered a sow and her cub on the trail and she was not happy to see us. She probably did us a big favor as it was raining by the time we returned to our car and we would have been soaked by the time we finished if we had been able to do the entire trail. Enjoy the flora and fauna!Bethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818644720083419532.post-72075337028665040022011-02-05T09:44:27.480-07:002011-02-05T09:44:27.480-07:00Dave, it is a great thru hike, I did finish the wh...Dave, it is a great thru hike, I did finish the whole trail in October. http://trailparkreviews.blogspot.com/2010/10/beaver-brook-trail-to-windy-saddle-park.html <br />Great scenery along the way and lots of elk/deer; and a cow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365939169903730937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818644720083419532.post-63770798771531185332011-01-31T14:03:23.167-07:002011-01-31T14:03:23.167-07:00This is a great spot for hiking.

You can do an out-and-back on the Beaver Brook Trail, going as far as you like before turning around, or do a nice circuit hike taking Beaver Brook down to the Chavez Trail intersection and taking the latter back. A thru-hike of the Beaver Brook Trail is the ultimate, and I hope to do that soon.Dave Fransonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18104436081609850987noreply@blogger.com
