Today we (Scott and Harrall and I) hiked into Lost Park with the intent of going to Goose Creek Campground via the valley below. This valley connects Lost Park with McCurdy Park Trail. It's also one of the places that Lost Creek gets lost. It goes underground for about 400 yards and then mysteriously reappears. It does this very often. On the way however, Harrall got blisters, Scott fell into the creek on his rear, and we got hailed on most of the afternoon. We decided to take the long route around instead of tackling the difficulties in this canyon with no trail.
Going back up the canyon the next day meant 800 feet up with a full pack. This wasn't too much fun since it was mostly scrambling over large boulders and up steep slopes. It was a beautiful place though. For those of you contemplating a trip through this canyon, don't do it unless you are prepared for difficult conditions.
Scott and Harrall wait out the storm in our camp at the bottom of the canyon. It's a good thing I brought my handy tarp.
