Directions: The Lost Lake Trailhead can be reached by traveling west from Centennial on Highway 130 for almost 8 miles to Brooklyn Lake Road. Then follow Brooklyn Lake Road for 2 miles. The Lost Lake Trailhead will be just before you enter the Brooklyn Lake Campground. The Gap Lakes Trail also provides access to the Lost Lake Trail.

To get there travel west from Centennial for 11 miles. Turn right on the road marked for the Sugar Loaf Recreation Area. Follow this road until it ends at Lewis Lake.

The Lost Lake Trail is named for Lost Lake which sits near the middle of the 3.4 mile long trail.

Starting from the east near Brooklyn Lake, the trail climbs through the trees towards the Glacier Lakes.

From there it continues mostly upwards to Lost Lake, the high point on the trail.

Next, the trail will gradually transition from sub alpine forest to the alpine boulder strewn meadows.

The western portion of the trail will give you the best views of the surrounding peaks and the many alpine lakes.
