Description
The turn-off to Lost Bear Lake is not obvious from the Pecos River Trail. It is located approximately two miles upstream from Pecos Falls. Look for a trail emerging from the Pecos River and heading northeast up the opposite slope of the river basin. After crossing the meadow along the Pecos River, the trail enters a thick spruce forest and begins the steep climb up the hillside. The lake is perched high up on the slope of the Hamilton Mesa ridge.
