LAKE CITY, Colorado
Lake San Cristobal - What Lake City is named for.
If the Colorado vacation you dream about includes a remote, historic mountain town nestled in a valley of breathtaking mountains, clear alpine lakes and gurgling streams, then you won't be disappointed with Lake City. Founded as a mining town in the 1870's, and now a Colorado Historic District, Lake City is considered one of the undiscovered gems of the Rockies. Located at the junction of two scenic byways, it remains surprisingly unspoiled by commercialism and "glitz".
Lake City is a mountain lover's dream come true, offering some of the best jeeping, fishing and hiking in the country. 14,000+ peaks beckon the mountain climber while ghost towns and old mines will thrill the history buff. ATVers, OHVers and mountain bikers will enjoy countless miles of alpine trails. Horseback trailrides are plentiful for those with more equestrian tastes. Snowmobiling and cross-country skiing are popular with our winter visitors, deer and elk attract hunters during hunting season while September brings color seekers. Plays, slide-shows, concerts, and a fabulous old movie theater that actually plays current films, offer evening entertainment and you will enjoy the museum, historic homes tours, restaurants and local shops on days when you'd rather explore the town than the mountains. Scenic day trips to Creede, Ouray, Silverton, Gunnison and Crested Butte are fun diversions, but you will be glad to come back to Lake City, over and over again.
