Beaver Creek

Hiking

Holy Cross Wilderness Area. The Holy Cross Wilderness Area is southwest of Beaver Creek. Eagle Lake is a great trail for hikers who want to test their bodies at altitude without overdoing it. The trail starts at 9,100 feet (just slightly higher than Beaver Creek's base at 7,400 feet) and contours through a glacial valley for almost 2.5 mi around Woods Lake to Eagle Lake at 10,000 feet. Plan on a five-hour round-trip journey. You can continue up the valley to explore more lakes if you're feeling fit.
