What wonderful thing will you find, up around the bend?

There is always a mystery involved, trekking along a mountain trail.  Lake City's paths and roads are ancient, riddled with clues and relics of the past.  You never know what wonderful adventure you may find, up around the next bend.


Where is Lake City, Colorado?

A tiny valley town settled at the confluence of two rivers, Lake City is on the eastern side of the glorious San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado, in the most remote county in the lower 48 states.  

It's easy to get here--find out more.
