: would like to know if there is information i tried to hike to find it but with no luck.
: anyone out there know about it?
Hello Jim,
The museum at Independence CA has a great deal of info on Beverdige, including a great TOPO map with a trail drawnon it from Frenchmens Spring (West side of Inyos). Where did you hike out from?
I was at Frenchmens Spring last month and tried to hike to Beveridge in one day, but could not make it, quiting below Forgotten Pass. I recommend three days to make it to Beveridge via this trail. People have left water jugs along the trail in the "narrows" and other spots.
Good luck. I've tried three times to reach Beveridge via this trail. Elevation gain is sharp and wears one out.
