Beckwith Bench Trail is really popular among backpackers and day hikers who like longer journeys with more solitude. The section of the Cliff Creek Trail at the start sees a decent amount of trail users, but most people turn around once they hit Beckwith Pass. The basin trail usually follows along with alpine streams in the spring and summer months.
