Lost Gulch Overlook — Attraction in Four Corners States

This is simply an incredible point to see some magnificent mountain views. Doesn’t really face Boulder so this particular overlook isn’t suited for that. However, you won’t be disappointed if you take the drive up the mountain to this spot for some really awesome panoramas that you would normally only see in a national park like Yosemite or the Rocky Mountains.

I will note that the view at the top is gorgeous. The picture I attached only shows one view angle, but there are others.

I hope your experience is as good as mine and above drive safely as there are some...
