Lost Creek State Park is not particularly large by
Montana standards. According to visitmt.com, the park is located in the
Flint Creek Range a mere 6 miles from Anaconda and encompasses only 502
acres. The acreage, though, scarcely
describes the spectacular canyon you enter at the park’s gate. A mix of granite and limestone formations
upsurge 1,200 feet from the narrow canyon floor. Huge boulders, Lost Creek, and a mixed forest
fills the ever-squeezed canyon floor.
At the end of the road into the park, Lost Creek Falls
can be found. The falls cascades 50 feet
down through a jumble cross-fall lodgepole pine and boulders. A campground and trailhead is also located
near the falls.
If you have never been to Lost Creek State Park, I
suggest you add this one to your bucket list.
Posted today are a few photographs from a weekend visit
to the park.

ReplyDeleteLost Creek is a surprisingly lovely place--though small by Western standards.
