Approximately 5 miles east of Portola, or less than a mile from the center of Beckwourth, take County Road A-23 south from Highway 70. Travel 6.3 miles and turn at a road that looks like a driveway. There is an address sign on the driveway that reads 7500. Follow the road until it forks; stay right. The road will become a rutted dirt road, and then a gravel road. You'll be able to see the white arch of the cemetery up on the hill at the end of that road. There are some unmarked graves within this cemetery. Not accessible in wet or snowy conditions.
