In 1985, Glacier National Park wrote a report on the long range management plans for the park. One of the proposed developments in their plan included the re-opening of an old trail that is located between the proposed Beaver Picnic site and the Beaver gravel pit. This trail would be an extension of the Beaver Valley Trail, and would also establish a new trailhead for the Beaver Valley Trail at the proposed picnic site.
This report will present and explain the environmental damages that the trail will cause and also some of the problems that will be encountered when it comes time to reconstruct this trail. Some possible courses of action and options that are available are also presented.
