Beaver Ponds Trail

Comments

Description by the NPS: "The trail begins just north of Liberty Cap

and the Mammoth Terraces, and begins

with a 350 foot (106.7 m) climb up and

above Clematis Gulch. At the junction

with Sepulcher Mountain Trail, go right.

Soon thereafter, the trail levels out and

rambles through meadows and stands of

aspen to a series of beaver ponds. Look

for elk, mule deer, pronghorn, moose,

beaver dams and lodges, the occasional

beaver, and waterfowl. Be alert for bears:

both black and grizzly bears forage in

this area. Past the ponds, the trail travels

through forest and grassland back to Mammoth.

Distance: 5 miles (8 km)

Estimated time: 2–3 hours

Difficulty: moderately strenuous

Trailhead: between Liberty Cap and

the stone house next to the Mammoth

Terraces
