Trail Overview

This is a beautiful trail that leads from US 93 up to Twin Lakes. The trail follows Lost Horse Creek for much of the drive and offers excellent camping opportunities at spots spaced out along the creek side of the trail and up at the lakes. The trail has two parking areas at the end, accessing the Bear Creek Pass Horse Camp and the Twin Lakes Trailhead, which leads to Moose Creek Trail.
