My wife & I spent a beautiful week at Lost Trail Campground, fishing, 4 wheeling, exploring, etc. Nice area, with minimal amenities. No fresh water tap or well. Well maintained. Bring plenty of ice for coolers; its 37 miles one way to nearest town for supplies on a rough road. 3 1/2 hrs round trip. The valley is scenic and remote. Be prepared for all kinds of extreme weather and conditions. Happy Trails...🌲🦌🌲🐏🌲🐻
