Lost Creek Wilderness - Aug 18-19 2012

Chillin on the rocks.


View from camp
 Went to the Lost Creek Wilderness (about 60 miles SW of Denver as the crow flies but a decent drive away) for a weekend of backpacking.  The geology here is pretty amazing and, when there is water in it, Goose Creek (aka Lost Creek) dives into the ground and re-emerges further down the valley as if straight out of the rock.  We hiked Goose Creek Trail (http://www.fomelc.org/lost-creek-trails.html) to a fantastic camping spot up the trail from the old reservoir building remains.
Getting to the camp spot
took some skill.

And some squeezing.
