Trail Information
Highlights
Topaz Mountain and Wallace Gulch 4x4 trails wind their way up through the forested hillsides of North Tarryall Peak and Topaz Mountain on the south side of Lost Park near Jefferson, Colorado from Lost Creek to an altitude just over 11,300 feet and back down again. As you pass through the pine, fur and spruce forests punctuated by gorgeous green meadows, you are treated to occasional glimpses of the peaks of the Lost Creek Wilderness Area north and east, across the valley. On the way down Wallace Gulch, back toward Lost Creek, you encounter a relic of a bygone era as you come across the rusting carcass of an old pickup truck. Wildflowers are abundant in the spring and early summer while changing aspen grace the view in the fall. There are many opportunities for camping making this a great place for a peaceful weekend get-a-way.

My new favorite mellow trail close to home! Can’t believe I waited so long to come here… virtually no one up on the trail. Scenic, peaceful and a true joy to ride on.

Great run. Had one person that we had to pass on the narrowest section. Great to have met these folks, we worked together to pass with about an inch to spare.

Ran this trail along with Lost Park Rd, and North Fork Rd today. This was a awesome place to test my Gladiator in the deep snow. most of the trial was about a foot to 15 inches deep today. it was a blast. Great group of trails for snow wheeling.

An absolute blast in light snow! Beautiful, quiet, clean. Open as of 11-27-22, but looks like it could change any day now.
