BEARTRAP CANYON LOOP
Route Information Photos 1 2
| The open valley above Willis Creek looking southwest. It's time to leave the official trail and head into the hills. |

| 500 feet up from the bottom of Willis Creek, we get a great view into the mysterious Chasm Lake. |
| Looking south from the saddle down into Beartrap. Yeah, it's all downhill from here! |
| Down in the beautiful dry streambed of Beartrap Canyon. Water starts flowing about halfway down the canyon. |

| Berries with cool 1970s fall colors and patterns. |
