As of mid-day Sunday 21May2023, the gate from the Grant side/CR60 is closed. The gate to the area from CR124 is also closed. We were able to access the area via an open gate on the Jefferson side that took us to Deadman/Wahl/a section of Guernsey. The gate from 285 to Guernsey was also closed. Spots of snow on Wahl. The creek crossing at Waypoint 3 to Lininger cutoff looked the same as it does every time we've been there, likely about hub-deep, but we didn't cross as we were unsure why the Grant side gate to Beaver Creek was still closed. It was a strange being able to get to the opposite side of closed gates via an open gate on a different forest service's jurisdiction/area. Hopefully the FS gets the gate(s) open for the holiday weekend.

Easy trail with a few campsites. None of these easy trails are worth visiting on their own but if you’re killing time or looking for a place to camp to then hit Webster or Red Cone the next day, this is a great little network of trails.

Checked in on Beaver Creek and North Beaver while I was in the area. No major changes, just a little bumpier now. Trail will get bumped up to a 1-2 due to rutting and exposed rocks that exist now.

Easy trail. A little narrow in spots where the bushes will provide you some pinstripes. Several beaver ponds. Great camping spots. Fun little side trip when your visiting Hall Valley.

Really great snow wheeling spot! The trail received probably 6-8" of fresh snow the night before and it made for great scenery and awesome snow shot. The trail is still passable in a high clearance vehicle and there were no issues with ice. This guide says the trail closes on 1/1 per the 2015 settlement agreement. However, I do not believe that to be correct. I can not find this trail listed in that settlement, and it is also not listed on the renewed seasonal closure list just signed in October. The lininger trails this connects to, are listed on both of those documents, just not this one. There is a different Beaver Creek trail in pikes peak ranger district that closes as well, but again, not this trail.

Easy trail, a few inches of snow on the ground made for an enjoyable day here & at North Beaver. There is a bit of unavoidable pinstriping towards the end for larger rigs

We picked this trail to see the fall leaves changing and it did not disappoint. Overall the trail was a bit rocky but easy to navigate. The beaver ponds are super cool! We found a great dispersed campsite, however, hunters found it too, and scared the poo out of us before the butt crack of dawn. Always scary to have gunshots wake you up! I would note this as a great fall trail, check into hunting season before you go, and we would not suggest camping or hiking there during this time.

Really pretty trail and very easy. We turned onto Lininger Cutoff then to Lininger Ditch on the way back to 285. Would love to come back when the Aspens turn.

Impassable

Visited: 01/01/2021

This trail is at a high altitude within the state of Colorado and has no maintainence. As such, this trail should be considering impassable until spring.

Not under any forest closure. Open until seasonal closure takes effect. May be impassable due to snow.

Ran this today. All the trails in this trail system are fully open and in good shape. Nice scenic drive from the top of Kenosha down to Hall Valley Road.

Went up due to status being shown as open but it is still closed. Planned on doing Lininger Cutoff and Ditch as well so have to assume they are also closed still.

Visited this trail with a couple other lifted Subarus, very fun and fairly easy trail, even for our cars. Some rocks, the water crossing between way points 3 and 4 was about a foot deep. Lots of designated dispersed camping available along the way.

A great day on Beaver Creek. Even though it was mid-July, the water level was high and the creek crossing was door level. Seemed a little rougher than last year with more rock showing likely due to winter erosion.

A fun little trail that wasn't very challenging, though we encountered some snow. This area only has a few weeks before only snow-ready rigs will be able to run this.
