About Lost Outfitters
Lost Outfitters is a boutique fly fishing and hiking guide service in Estes Park, focused on delivering personalised small-group adventures in Rocky Mountain National Park and the surrounding Estes Valley. Founded by guides who grew up exploring the park's backcountry, the company emphasises quality over quantity — keeping group sizes small so every guest gets hands-on instruction and genuine attention.
Guided fly fishing trips target the wild trout populations of the Big Thompson River, Fall River, and the park's remote alpine streams and lakes that most visitors never see. Half-day and full-day options are available, with all tackle, flies, and waders provided for guests who don't bring their own gear. Hiking adventures range from moderate day hikes through wildflower meadows and along alpine ridgelines to challenging summit attempts on Longs Peak, Colorado's northernmost fourteener at 14,259 feet.
Lost Outfitters' guides are deeply knowledgeable about the park's ecology, wildlife, and trail conditions, turning every outing into an educational experience as well as a physical one. They are particularly well-regarded for their patience with beginners — whether that means teaching a first cast on a mountain stream or coaching a nervous hiker through an exposed scramble. For visitors who want a more intimate, less crowded alternative to the larger outfitters in town, Lost Outfitters delivers a premium backcountry experience.
