About this trail

North Lost is a 3.5-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado with 1,393 feet of elevation gain. The steady climb makes this a moderate hike suitable for those seeking a workout with rewarding views. The trail is managed by the local agency and sits within a designated wilderness area, offering visitors a chance to experience Colorado's natural landscape away from heavily developed zones. The out-and-back format allows hikers to turn back at any point, making it accessible for those with varying fitness levels or time constraints. The elevation gain is distributed across the full distance, creating a consistent uphill push on the approach and an easier descent on the return. This hike works well as a half-day adventure, particularly for those based in or visiting the Colorado area. Conditions can vary seasonally, so checking current trail reports before heading out is recommended. The wilderness setting provides a quieter alternative to more popular regional trails.
