Beverly Turnpike, Bean Creek Basin — Thursday, Aug. 16, 2001

Snoqualmie Region > Salmon La Sac/Teanaway

Looking for that perfect ""loop"" trip with spectacular,changing vistas,nobugs,no people and lots of sunshine' All the above were true this day off the Teanaway. Follow the 100 Hikes,Alpine Lakes, description for the Black Tooth saddle.The hike starts on the Beverly turnpike linking first to the Fourth of July trail and then the County Line trail.The Black Tooth saddle is at 6400'on the east ridge of Bean Pk,point 6743.This ridge is an easy walk,scramble to the summit of Bean.From the summit an easy decent can be made to Bean basin to pick up the Bean creek trail.This trail intersects the Beverly turnpike trail less than a half mile from your starting point. Highly recommended. Allow 3+ hours up,2 hours down.
