This is a great hike! We hiked the trail counterclockwise. From the parking lot, the trail had a slight climb before descending down to the creek. We followed trail 44 along Lost Creek to the trail junction with 450 making a loop back to the parking lot. The hike involved two creek crossing without bridges or adequate stepping stones for the still high water flow. After the final creek crossing, the trail curved left and began following a ridge that included amazing views of the Absoraka range including Livingston Peak. The trail ascended through lush fields of wildflowers including balsamroot, lupine, sticky geranium, and scarlet paintbrush. Flowers were in peak bloom the first week of July. Great mix of views and habitats.
