Hiked the Lost Creek Loop. Absolutely beautiful. Lots of moose in the area in the lower valleys.
Beautiful and isolated location, I absolutely will be returning.
We parked at the campground and did a small out and back hike along Lost Creek going clockwise on the Lost Creek Wilderness loop (note that most people had recommend counterclockwise for the full loop).
The road from the highway back to the campground is corrugated so prepare for a bumpy 20 miles back to the parking lot.
Amazing camp ground a little past the edge of nowhere. Coming down the road to this campground you past three trailhead sections of the Colorado trail. The campground features improved grounds that have picnic tables, fire rings, and flat areas for parking. Please be bear aware and take all you trash out with you. If you are traveling into the wilderness area check online for rules pertaining to wilderness area entry. Just a heads up no cell service in the area
Stunning location, we were lucky enough to enjoy a gloomy rainy day, and couldn’t get enough of it. Greats hiking and camping
