Alaskans aren’t exactly hard-pressed to find remote places in nature to relax. We are, after all, one of the least populated states in the nation. And when you want a long, challenging, beautiful hike that leads you straight to a lake you just might have all to yourself, head straight to the Lost Lake Trail.
This uniquely shaped lake is surrounded by chasms and small tarns, two glaciers to the east. and one to the west.
The hike itself is ranked as moderate, but the length alone will keep beginning hikers away.

Although the trail is somewhat popular in the summertime, there are so many hills and crevices that finding solitude is never an issue.
