Trail Overview

This is a truly stunning view out over the mountains and valley. It is one of the few in this area that can be driven to, most of the best viewpoints in this area are accessed from hiking trails. The Lost Horse Observation Point has a dirt parking area and multiple rock formations that can be explored on foot. Bring your lunch and hang out for the afternoon. Access to this trail is from Lost Horse Ridgeline or Moose Creek/Old Mine Trail to Hays Creek Moose Creek. Take all of those trails to make a loop and see a lot of beautiful scenery. There are several stunning viewpoints along the way up to the Observation point worth pulling off at as well. Halfway up the trail is accessible to the Camas Creek Hiking Trailhead with a small dirt parking area.

We were able to make it to the observation point today. The trail towards the beginning was wet and muddy and by the end was 1-2 ft deep snow depending on sun facing slope. Although the snow had some depth, it was pretty firm below the first few inches so getting stuck in sxs’s was not an issue.
