Lizard Rock Trail No. 658:

Some of the loops might include the Lake Park, Brookside/McCurdy, Hankins Pass, Goose Creek, McCurdy Park, and Ute Creek trails. The Lost Creek Wilderness boundary is located at the end of the Lizard Rock trail. Ensure that you are familiar with Wilderness regulations if you continue into the Wilderness.
