Lost Park Road is a gorgeous drive that follows the Lost Creek upstream taking you through several valleys and along the border of the Lost Creek Wilderness. It offers several different access points to the Colorado Trail, other hiking trails, and a network of more challenging 4x4 trails. Only an hour drive from Denver and open year-round, this trail is perfect for a day trip to see some great fall colors, viewing wildlife, snow wheeling, hunting, or a secluded weekend camping trip with endless areas to explore.

Took this trail today. Even with the recent snow fall there is not much here at all. While the scenery is great, this trail has the absolute worst washboards for quite awhile. If it had more snow to pack in the washboards it would be fine but currently you got to go slow to save your shocks.

A very easy trail. A lot of people take RVs and trailers down this road. There is some wash boarding, but it is better this year than in past years.

Just went up to/on FR 130 to shake down the 4WD on a recently acquired vehicle. Main road was dry, as was the Forest Road largely. Just a few shallow mud holes. Definitely seems like there’s a lot of dispersed camping options in the area. (Given the location inside Pike National Forest, there is shooting, so might not provide the most peace and quiet, at times.)
