Wonderful hiking area that is well maintained but heavily traveled. The hike to lost lake isn’t too bad but there are a few strenuous climbs plus the elevation adds a little to the hike. I would strongly recommend that when you get to the lake you continue up for spectacular views and to get above 10,000 feet in elevation!

Make sure to enjoy some of the side trails for great little waterfalls and pretty views. I can’t wait to get back up in the area and go for more of an extended hike or backpack trip. Make sure to enjoy Nederland when you get back from your hike!
