Lost Creek Loop | Lost Creek Wilderness
May 2020
In early summer or late fall, few places rival the allure of Lost Creek Wilderness. Despite its lower altitude compared to other wild terrains, it boasts grand mountain scenery. Remote trails, captivating volcanic rock formations, picturesque valleys, and a rich variety of wildlife make this wilderness a perennial favorite that I revisit multiple times each year. The extended Lost Creek loop spans approximately 39 miles, with over 7500 feet of elevation gain, making it a challenging adventure suited for those seeking a robust outdoor experience.
