A beautiful, remote section of climbing through aspen groves greets you for the last major ascent of the route after mile 22. The remoteness is reflected in the trail being nearly swallowed up by the surrounding vegetation.

The first couple miles follow an old forest service road.
Just after crossing Craig Creek near mile 22. If the water is high at mile 8, you'll definitely be able to refill here at 22 as it's the same drainage.

First few miles of Segment 4 follow an old logging road.
Leaving the Lost Creek Wilderness Area on Segment 4
North Fork of Lost Creek upstream. Great place for campsite!
The crossing at this healthy stream ~4.5 miles in is a great place to refill on water.
The second half of CT Segment 4 follows Long Gulch to its end; marshy in the center with occasional flowing water and streams flowing in from the side.
