Sits in one of the most stunning valleys anywhere. Close to some great riding. I just got back from riding 4 days on the Alpine Plateau, which has access from about 10 miles North of Lake City. To the South and East on Slumgullion and SpringCreek passes, there are endless areas to ride with everything mild to wild. The snow is great right now, and with up to 5 feet forcasted for the San Juans this weekend, it looks like it's gonna be epic all winter long! Lake City is a nice, old mountain town, not completely yuppified like Summit County/Aspen etc. I like Lake City.
