Lake City is one the most remote old sil­ver min­ing towns in Col­orado.  Min­ing started around Lake City in the mid 1870s. Today, Lake City is a great place for fish­ing, hik­ing , off road­ing  in the  sum­mer and snow­mo­bil­ing in the win­ter. Area attrac­tions include Lake San Cristo­bal, Engi­neer and Cin­na­mon Passes which are both part of the alpine Loop 4 wheel drive route.  Some of the sights along this route worth tak­ing in are places such as  Cap­i­tal City, Whit­more Falls,  Empire Chief Mine,  Engi­neer City, Sher­man town site along with  many oth­ers. Pho­tograph­ing the scenery is in this area is absolutely incredible.
