Located within Canyonlands National Park, Lost Canyon Trail leads from Squaw Canyon Trail southward over a slick rock pass then descends into the Lost Canyon drainage. The track connects Squaw Canyon Trail and with Peekaboo Trail. It can be used in conjunction with these two trails to form a nine mile loop.

Begin this hike by walking southward from the Squaw Flat Loop A Trailhead. Follow the trail a short distance to a fork and bear left, following Squaw Canyon Trail. One mile from the trailhead hikers will reach a trail junction. The Peekaboo Trail leads eastward from this fork. This is the beginning and end of a short loop through the area. Either side of this fork will lead to the well marked Lost Canyon Trail.

Bear right at this junction and enter Squaw Canyon. The drainage leads southward on the western bank of the stream, which is usually dry. During the next one and a half miles the track winds its way through the canyon and ascends 160 feet to meet the Lost Canyon Trail. A backcountry campsite has been established at this junction. To reach Lost Canyon follow the trail to the left.

The Lost Canyon Trail ascends 320 feet out of Squaw Canyon to the eastern end of a slick rock ridge. From this high point, 5,540 feet, the trail turns northeastward and descends into Lost Canyon. The track reaches backcountry campsite LC3 shortly after reaching the floor of Lost Canyon.

The trail winds along the western side of the canyon for the next two miles. It often climbs above the drainage along the slick rock walls. Campsites LC2 and LC1 lie along this stretch of the trail.
