beveridge was built by muleback, i heard there were ramps built up all the falls in beveridge canyon..lots of big lumber pieces left here n there, very strenous hike dont use old ladders or ropes existing at falls..everything is old...usfs/blm razed the town in the late 60's early 70's. a vat of cianide was leaking in the creek killing wildlife..thats how the town was rediscovered..private people/tourasses who knew of the town took choppers up there and sacked it b 4 the gov finished it off..there were telephone booths there..i think one still exists at museo in independence.the route from talc mine is the easiest route...
