Climbing to almost 9,500', Beaver Road is a scenic shortcut over the mountains to Scofield Reservoir and much more within the nearby Manti-La Sal National Forest. Winding into the mountains from Helper, UT, Beaver Road travels across mountainous private mining land. For miles, the area alongside the road is closed to any type of usage, but the views are free and the true reward along this route. Camping is limited to a single campsite near the eastern trailhead, which is a large grassy site with room for a couple of vehicles and tents. Beyond the campsite, the trail is a bumpy climb through the trees until the summit near the private property boundary. 'The Elbow' switchbacks near the western trailhead are both scenic and intimidating. The grade is safe for all full-size vehicles with 4x4, but it's not recommended for trailers. Use caution and plan accordingly when passing on 'The Elbow.'
