Lost Glacier Lakes is a 7.0-mile out-and-back trail located in Wyoming. The route takes hikers through alpine terrain toward a series of glacial lakes, offering views of the surrounding mountain landscape. As an out-and-back hike, the trail follows the same route both directions, with the turnaround point at the lakes themselves. The trail is suitable for hikers seeking a moderate day outing with scenic water features. The out-and-back format makes it straightforward to navigate, and hikers can adjust their experience by turning back at any point along the route. Visitors should come prepared with adequate water and sun protection, as much of the hike traverses exposed alpine areas. The trail's proximity to glacial lakes makes it popular during summer months when snow has melted and the high country is accessible. This hike offers a rewarding destination for those interested in viewing mountain lakes and alpine scenery in Wyoming's backcountry.
