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.

Colorado’s Lost Creek Wilderness
– Classic Summit Hikes |
| 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 tiny tome covers 4 mountain ranges; the Platte River, Kenosha, Tarryall
and Puma Hills. The 6x9 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. |
