Beartrap Fork - Big Cottonwood Canyon

Beartrap fork is located up Big Cottonwood Canyon. to get to the trail head go east on  Big Cottonwood Canyon Rd.(7200 S.) 10.5 miles up the canyon past the spruces campground. The trail head is on the North side of the road, there is a small gate in front of an old access road, the trail starts behind the gate.

The first part of the trail is a little difficult to follow it follows an old jeep trail with a couple of switchbacks and then intersects with another old jeep trail. Stay on the main path and you should make your way to the first stream crossing. We found the water running really high and fast so be careful as you cross. the trail then heads up the canyon mainly following the stream.
