Lost Creek Ridge is a moderate out-and-back hike in Idaho's Coeur d'Alene River Ranger District, part of the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. The trail is managed by the Forest Service and runs about 3.8 miles, with an elevation gain of 826 feet from a low point of 2,511 feet to a high of 3,334 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs in the low 80s with lows in the mid-40s, while winter highs stay in the low 30s. That station sits about 787 feet lower than the ridge's high point, so temperatures up top run cooler. The trail is open from June 1 to September 30. Bikes are allowed on the natural-surface route. The East Fork Lost Creek Trail and E.Fk. Lost Creek are both about 1.8 miles away, and Avery Creek Cabin is about 2.4 miles off.
