Lost Creek WildernessLost Creek Wilderness
Trails vary depending on how adventurous you’re feeling: some paths are mellow and good for day-hikes; others get steep or rugged, great for backpacking or experienced hikers. Wildlife (elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, maybe even black bear) and minimal crowds — perfect for a quiet or nature-immersed outing.
Staunton State ParkStaunton State Park
About ~20–30 min from Bailey. Offers ~30+ miles of trails suitable for hiking, biking, or even horseback-riding. Colorado Parks and Wildlife Favorite hikes include Elk Falls Trail — a scenic hike that leads to a waterfall, nice mix of forest, cliffs, and water. For a gentler hike, Mason Creek Trail is an easier loop with creek-side forest and a relaxed vibe. Great for families or mixed-ability groups — shorter trails, nice picnic & rest spots, plus fishing and other park amenities.
