Lake City / Hinsdale County Chamber of Commerce

Lake City is located in the heart of the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. It is known as “the most remote place in the lower 48” giving it a unique position for outdoor adventure. Boasting 5 peaks over 14,000 feet in elevation, and 20 peaks over 13,000, the area is also riddled with rivers and lakes. Tourism is the primary economic driver with visitors participating mostly in hiking, mountaineering, 4 wheel driving, fishing, ice-climbing, backcountry skiing and snowmobiling. A lively arts community thrives in the area and a robust events calendar keeps locals and visitors alike busy with adventure.
