Lost Canyon is an offroad trail connecting Gunnison to Almont in a nice, scenic detour through BLM and National Forest land. This trail is a great option for a stock rig with a transfer case to camp and enjoy the great outdoors. This is one of those trails with an easy side and a harder side. The harder side starts in Almont and takes you up a few narrow, steep switchbacks with amazing views of the mountains north of Crested Butte. The easy side of the trail starts in Gunnison, which any passenger car can do, and ends up on the top of an Aspen-filled plateau that would be wonderful during the autumn season when the colors are changing. There are a handful of nice camp spots along this trail if you are looking for a quiet place to spend the night, as this trail doesn't see nearly as much traffic as the remainder of other popular trails in the area.
