Goose Creek Trail in Lost Creek Wilderness
1 review for Goose Creek Trail in Lost Creek Wilderness
When Spring hits Colorado snow is most likely still in the mountains... but towards the end of spring there is one wilderness that most locals know will most likely NOT have snow, and that is why the Lost Creek Wilderness becomes so popular. People want out of their homes and into the mountains and they want it now, so they all go.
This is a great trail to either take a short hike on or a trek. I did a one night day/trek and saw my first bear in person! I am still so excited to this day that I tell people about seeing my first bear in person. He saw us first and was walking away from us, but I was scared the rest of the trek.
We found the most amazing camp site under these beautiful grove of Aspens and by a nearby running river. At that particular time, we were allowed to have fires, so we made a nice controlled fire, had an amazing dinner of burritos and rice and enjoyed ourselves as the night grew cooler.
You better bet your booty that we hung all of our food, wrappers, and trash in a high high tree, far, far away from our tents... You are not a true hiker if you don't!
Make sure to see the shaft house.. The short mile hike will grant you awesome sites of gigantic boulders and rock formations... A sure different view then the rest of the hike.
* Star one for my first bear sighting
** Raise your hands tall or talk low star two is for learning what to do if a bear approaches you talk that lasted a mile
*** Wow this is old star three is for the old not-in-use shafthouses that are a perfect short trek off of the main trail
**** Fire fire star four is for the first mile which shows you in person how a much a forest fire rips apart a wilderness... But the star is for the new growth... I am so cheesy!
