Lost Prospector is an easy out-and-back hike in Utah, just 0.3 miles from Park City. The trail rises about 168 feet over roughly 0.94 miles, from a low point of 7,087 feet to a high of 7,269 feet. It's a short, gentle climb, well within a day's walk in this corner of the mountains. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Park City weather station show July highs around 80°F with lows near 53°F, while winter highs stay in the low 30s. The station sits about 370 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures up top run a little cooler. Several other outings lie within a short drive. Freemason is 0.1 miles away and Full Steam Billy is 0.2 miles away. White Pine Lake, about 2.6 miles off, offers fishing, and Jordanelle State Park McHenry Campground is about 4 miles away.
