Traveling through large burn scars from 2015, Mid Beaver is a spur loop off Starvation Mountain primarily used to access the Beaver Lake hiking trail. Although easy and mostly hard-packed soil, the burned deadfall and regenerating forest have created tight squeezes through thick brush along this trail, virtually guaranteeing some pin-stripping in your vehicle's paint. On your way up or down from Starvation Mountain, take a quick detour and check out Mid Beaver, where you have a distinct possibility of encountering cattle.
Along this road, two or three campsites are available, and pullouts are common enough to make meeting someone coming in the other direction manageable.
