And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in everything.
I would not change it.
– William Shakespeare
With its peaceful mountain trails and exhilarating summit plateaus, Colorado’s Lost Creek Wilderness is one of the most unique hiking regions in Colorado. Only 40 miles southwest of Denver and 48 miles northwest of Colorado Springs, the Lost Creek Wilderness offers breathtaking summit hikes along twisting trails near rock towers and natural arches. This is the first-ever hiking guide to one of the most beautiful and least visited wilderness areas in Colorado. Jennifer and Gerry created this guide out of love for this extraordinary place.

Published by Fulcrum in 2001, this second edition of our effort continues where the first edition left off. The second edition covers 4 mountain ranges; the Platte River, Kenosha, Tarryall and Puma Hills. The 6 x 9 inch, soft-cover book has 160 pages, a color cover with 3 full color photographs and 59 annotated, black-and-white photographs. The guide covers 23 trailheads, 34 peaks and 74 routes, each leading to the summit of a peak. Each route has summary information, which includes distance, elevation gain, difficulty and an effort rating. The second edition’s big improvement was the addition of 13 highly annotated, black-and-white topographic maps. The guide also has a locator map for the wilderness area and 7 fine line drawings of animals by Salida artist Jon MacManus. Finally, the second edition has 10 lists of the peaks in the area in and around the Lost Creek Wilderness.

Self produced in 2000, Jennifer and Gerry labored over this little tome. It was a labor of love. In the process, we explored the Lost Creek Wilderness, and learned a lot about producing books. This first edition covers 4 mountain ranges; the Platte River, Kenosha, Tarryall and Puma Hills. It covers 23 trailheads, and gives detailed driving directions to them. The guide describes hikes to the summits of 31 peaks, and also has variations and extra credits. Each route has summary information, which includes distance, elevation gain, difficulty and an effort rating. The 5.5 x 8.5 inch, soft-cover book has 190 pages, a color cover and 53 black-and-white photographs. The first edition has no maps, but it does have 7 fine line drawings of animals done by Salida artist Jon MacManus. The first edition has 20 lists of the peaks in the area in and around the Lost Creek Wilderness, and it’s already a rare book.
