Official Vacation Planner 2010-2011

Heirloom Vacations Lake City has been visited over the years by people who raised their children along the streams, on the trails, and bouncing over the old mining roads. They sought the cool mountain climate, abundant trout, and wilderness adventures on horseback or Jeep. The children grew, and they brought their children to Lake City, generation after generation. That tradition continues today, in a town that contains one of the most authentic National Historic Districts in the state of Colorado, and which sits at the junction of two National Byways. Surrounded by four National Wilderness Areas, lakes, streams, trails, and miles of public lands, outdoor recreation is a way of life in Lake City.You can easily fish, hike, camp, take scenic drives, and watch the wildlife. Lake City offers a historic mine tour, local history museum,walking tours,a vibrant arts community and numerous special events. This tiny renaissance occurs in the most remote county in the lower 48 states, on the frontier of what is still wilderness, even today. Join us for a while. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to make your own Lake City Heirloom Vacation. This issue of the Official Lake City Vacation Planner was made possible by the Lake City Marketing Board, which is a cooperative effort of the Town of Lake City, Hinsdale County, and the Lake City/Hinsdale County Chamber of Commerce. This guide was funded with locally collected sales taxes, lodging taxes, and with the support of the business members of the Chamber of Commerce.

Civilization in the Wilderness The Lake City National Historic District contains a medley of buildings from a time of massive growth and expansion in American history.The young United States and its territories contained vast mineral and natural resources that fueled the unrelenting expansion of the 19th century. Hordes of settlers, speculators, families, and entrepreneurs spread westward across the American continent during the mid-1800s, displacing native peoples and building new towns, sometimes almost overnight. Lake City was founded as a supply hub for prospectors, miners, and speculators who came to the rugged San Juan Mountains in search of mineral riches. The new settlements went through cycles of growth and contraction, with some towns lasting only a few years, and others, like Lake City, surviving

Historic Tourist Cabins & Motor Courts

Mary Carkin

into the 20th and 21st centuries by adapting to a tourism-based economy. Where the train used to symbolize growth and opportunity of the 19th century, the new automobiles of the 20th century meant that the surging middle class could spend its leisure time in the remote wilderness of the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. Here, in Lake City, you'll find over 200 historic buildings from these important times in the American story. The houses, businesses, public buildings, churches, tourist cabins, and outbuildings each have a story of their own. From the homes of laborers to the homes of successful entrepreneurs, from Hell's Acre to the county courthouse, from outhouses to an opera house, these structures represent unique aspects of our shared history. n

In the 1930s, 40s and 50s, when improved roads allowed visitors to arrive by automobile, several “motor court” style cabins were built to meet the demand for lodging. Although some have been converted to private residences, several of these quaint places still host visitors year after year. Historic tourist cabins in use today within the National Historic District include the Town Square Cabins (1939-1946), G & M Cabins (1936, 1947), and Alpine Village (1947-49). The Matterhorn Motel, built in 1949, is well-preserved and, open for business. Beyond the district boundaries, you can stay at historic cabins at the Texan Resort (1946), Vickers Ranch (1929+), Wagon Wheel Resort (1948), and the Westwood Resort (1954). For further information, pick up the new guide to Lake City’s historic lodging at the Visitor Center, 800 Gunnison Avenue.

Alpine Loop

National Back Country Byway

Mary Carkin

These

back roads in the San Juan Mountains were once used to haul mining equipment and supplies to high-elevation silver and gold mines. The extracted ores were then hauled out to the mills and train depots, helping to fuel the American expansion of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Now a National Back Country Byway, the Alpine Loop offers a look into that era, with relics of the mining boom scattered along the way. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see ghost towns, cabins, mills, and mine sites, with interpretive signs along the way that explain the significance of this road to the development of the American West.

Starting and ending in Lake City, the Loop winds through canyons, up into high alpine valleys, and above tree line to Engineer Pass and Cinnamon Pass, each more than 12,000 feet in elevation. From either pass, the roads drop into the ghost town of Animas Forks. From there, side trips to the historic towns of Silverton and Ouray are possible. The Alpine Loop is about 65 miles around, so plan on spending at least a day to explore it.

Joe Zimmer

Ute-Ulay Mine & Mill: An extensive group of original mine and mill buildings remain at this site.

Nellie Creek: A four-mile long 4-wheel-drive road leads you past Nellie Creek Falls and to the trail head of Uncompaghre Peak. Capitol City: This ghost town once had a population of 400; its founders wanted it to become the capitol of Colorado. The post office, some outbuildings, and brick kilns remain.

Mary Carkin

Whitmore Falls: Take the short, steep trail to an overlook where you can view the falls. Rose Lime Kiln: Built in 1881, this 44 ft. tall kiln reduced local limestone into high quality lime for use in local construction. The kiln is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Engineer Pass: At 12,800 feet, you’ll find amazing views of the San Juan Mountains, including nearby peaks Uncompaghre and Sneffels.

Animas Forks: Situated between Engineer Pass and Cinnamon Pass, this ghost town has many buildings, including the remains of houses, a jail, huge mills, and many other buildings.

Cinnamon Pass. At 12,620 feet, the top of this pass has excellent views of nearby fourteeners (peaks taller than 14,000 feet in elevation).

American Basin: This beautiful alpine cirque, a bowlshaped valley carved by glaciers, is the backdrop for an amazing display of blooming wildflowers every July and August.

Burrows Park: A few historic buildings remain at this location. You’ll also find trailheads for fourteeners Handies, Sunshine, and Redcloud Peaks.

Sherman: Once a mining town and site of the Black Wonder Mill, this is now the location of the trail head to Cataract Gulch and Cataract Lake.

Carson: Take the four-wheel-drive road up Wager Gulch and

Driving the Alpine Loop The Alpine Loop is unpaved, and you will need a four-wheel drive vehicle to traverse Cinnamon Pass, Engineer Pass, and the side spurs. Keep in mind that the Alpine Loop is narrow and twisty; drive slowly. Make sure you have a full tank of gas, food, solid footwear, raincoats and jackets with you. ATVs and four-wheel drive vehicles are available for rent from local businesses listed on page 45.

you will find the well-preserved ghost town of Carson.

Lake San CristobaL: Colorado’s second-largest natural lake was formed about 700 years ago, when the Slumgullion Earthflow blocked the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River.

ATV and dirt bike riders on the Alpine Loop must be licensed drivers and carry insurance for the vehicle which they are riding. Check with the Hinsdale County Sheriff at 970-9442291 if you have further questions about local regulations.

Silver Thread

National Scenic Byway Wheeler Geologic Area > These extraordinary spiral rock formations create an eerie and other-worldly landscape. Located 24 miles off of the Byway at the end of a four-wheel-drive road, it’s well worth the trip.

Creede > Creede has been called the “wildest town in all of Colorado during its hey day of three short years.” Silver mining was its main industry, and attracted, at its peak, a population of 10,000. Today, Creede boasts a lively historic downtown, an active arts community, the Underground Mining Museum, and the renowned Creede Repertory Theatre. Headwaters of the Rio Grande Overlook > See the origins of the Rio Grande, the third largest river in the United States at 1,885 miles in length.

Over

125 years ago, travelers took stage coaches and freight wagons to reach the mining camps and towns along this route. Lake City and Creede were centers of activity in the booming silver and gold rush of the late 1800s. The roads to these towns, and to the mines, were essential to the growth of the area, and were an important part of the American westward expansion. Today, the Silver Thread winds along the entire length of Colorado Highway 149, from the town of South Fork to the south, up to Creede, Lake City, and ending at Blue Mesa Reservoir and the Curecanti National Recreation Area to the north. More than just scenery, you’ll find historic sites, waters to fish and boat, trails to hike, waterfalls, unique geology, campgrounds, picnic spots, and wildlife to photograph.

Points of I n t e r e st

Bristol Head > One of the most visually striking features of the Silver Thread, this bluff-shaped mountain was named by a homesick man from England. North Clear Creek Falls > Just off the Byway, North Clear Creek flows slowly across a flat grassy meadow before tumbling over 100 feet into a chasm. Spring Creek Pass > Atop the Continental Divide, there’s a nice picnic area here, and access to the Colorado Trail and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. Windy Point SCENIC Overlook > This stop offers spectacular views of five area fourteeners: Uncompahgre, Handies, Redcloud, Sunshine and Wetterhorn Peaks. Slumgullion Earthflow > A National Natural Landmark, this rare earthflow is a mass of land that sloughed off of a mesa and flowed downhill, blocking the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, and forming Lake San Cristobal.

South Fork > Named for its location at the south fork of the Rio Grande River, it is the gateway to the Silver Thread Byway and has gold medal fishing.

Lake San Cristobal Overlook > From the pull out, a short walk takes you to an excellent view of Lake San Cristobal.

Wagon Wheel Gap > In the 1870’s, this spot was a supply town and stage stop. It also was the first toll gate for the stage road from South Fork to Lake City.

Alferd Packer Massacre Site > Woefully unprepared for the mountain wilderness, six men ventured into this area in the winter of 1874. The men were lost and ran out of food; only Packer survived. The remains of the men were discovered at this site. Packer

claimed to have eaten the men only after they died, and that he killed the last man in self-defense. Packer was eventually found guilty of manslaughter, and served 15 years before being paroled.

The Old High Bridge > North of Lake City, a steep pull out slants down to the river. From there, a short walk leads to the remnants of the old Denver and Rio Grande Railroad bed and trestle. This trestle was the highest on the Rio Grande Western railroad system.

other animals that may be in the road.

Wilderness offers peace to your harried mind. With four National Wilderness Areas and two Wilderness Study Areas, plus hundreds of miles of trails to explore, you’ll find that your busy life fades away.

Maps of these trails are available at the Visitor Center and at many local stores. National Wilderness Areas Uncompahgre Wilderness 102,721 acres Home of two Fourteeners, Uncompahgre Peak and Wetterhorn Peak, this Wilderness is one of the highest and most dramatic areas at the heart of the San Juan Mountains. Other features include Matterhorn Peak (13,590’), Coxcomb Peak (13,656’) and Wildhorse Peak (13,266’). Major access to this area is from the Alpine Loop National Back Country Byway via the Nellie Creek road or the North Henson Creek road (4x4 recommended for both until you reach the trailheads). You can also enter the area from the north at Big Blue Creek, which has a primitive campground at the trailhead. Powderhorn Wilderness 61,510 acres The Powderhorn contains one of the largest untouched flat alpine tundra areas in the lower 48 states along Cannibal Plateau and Calf Creek Plateau. Features in this area include the Powderhorn Lakes, and many routes for the horseback rider, hiker, or backpacker. Trails include Devil’s Creek, Powderhorn Park, East Fork, and Canon Infierno. La Garita Wilderness 128,858 acres One of the more remote Wilderness Areas, the La Garita does not get much use. Features here include the Colorado Trail and the Continental Divide National Scenic

Trail, both of which pass through the area. Fourteener San Luis Peak (14,104’) and almost-a-Fourteener Stewart Peak (13,983’) offer steep climbs, but there are many miles of mellower trails for those seeking real solitude. You can access the La Garita from the top of Spring Creek Pass on Highway 149, or from Forest Service Road 788, which comes off of the top of Slumgullion Pass. Weminuche Wilderness 492,418 acres The largest Wilderness Area in Colorado can also be one of the busiest in some places. However, for much quieter trails, enter the area from the northern access points near the Rio Grande Reservoir, off of Forest Service Road 520. The Weminuche Trail, for example, offers access to the Continental Divide, and makes a nice overnight horseback or backpack trip. Redcloud Peak & Handies Peak Wilderness Study Areas 51,854 acres combined Located on the Alpine Loop National Back Country Byway, the Redcloud Peak and Handies Peak WSAs contains three Fourteeners: Redcloud Peak (14,034’), Sunshine Peak (14,001’), and Handies Peak (14,048’). These trails are fairly popular by local standards, so if you are looking for a little more quiet, head to Cooper Lake trail, Williams Creek trail, or Cataract trail. >>>

Hiking Lake City’s Fourteeners

Greg Ochocki

Lake San Cristobal Lake Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s namesake was formed hundreds of years

ago by a rare natural earthflow called the Slumgullion Slide, which blocked the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River.Â Lake San Cristobal is the second-largest natural lake in Colorado. 18

Visit Us! 1-800-569-1874 / www.lakecity.com

F ishing A variety of trout live in the cold waters of this lake. You can fish from any of the public access areas of the shore, including those near the lake outlet, and those located on the east side of the lake along County Road 33 at Wupperman Campground. Or, you can float your boat and fish from the surface. State catch and possession limits apply and licenses are required. Fishing licenses are available in town from several equipment outfitters; see page 43.

Wupperman Campground Located on the east side of Lake San Cristobal, this county-owned public campground features 31 sites with excellent views of the lake. Various site lengths will accommodate RVs and/or tents. Water, trash removal, vault toilets, picnic tables, grills and fire grates, dump station. No electricity. Cost is $15 per night. Elevation is 9000 feet. During the summer months, campground hosts can assist you with your questions. For more information, contact Hinsdale County at 970-944-2225.

A public boat ramp, dock and parking area are located part way along the west side of the lake. Eight slips are available: two for day use and six which can be reserved, for a fee, by calling Hinsdale County at 970-944-2225.

Red Mountain Gulch Day Use Area Located at the south end of Lake San Cristobal on County Road 30, the Red Mountain Gulch Day Use Area is a great location for your picnic or gathering. Facilities include several picnic spots, each with a picnic table and grill, plus a pavilion shelter with a large outdoor cooking grill. Restrooms are available in the summer. This picturesque area is close to the marshy end of the lake where many birds and other wildlife may be seen. For more information about this area, call Hinsdale County at 970-944-2225.

Wildlife Viewing

Mary Carkin

Water sources typically attract a big variety of wildlife, including migratory birds, beavers and other small mammals, and larger animals such as elk and moose. At Lake San Cristobal, you are likely to see many animals, especially during the warmer seasons. Migratory birds, including geese and a variety of ducks, can be seen at the marshy, south end of the lake, along with smaller birds, beavers, and more rarely, elk and moose. Bring your camera and binoculars.

F ishing in the area Lake City is a great place to fish in solitude, or to take your family on a fishing outing. Deer Lakes is a particularly good place for teaching kids how to fish. The waters in the area are home to five varieties of trout: Brown, Cutthroat, Rainbow, Cutbow (Cutthroat/Rainbow Cross), and Brook. Different waters have different regulations and catch limits. Check the Department of Wildlife’s annual fishing guide, available at the Visitor Center, for more information. Licenses, equipment, bait, guides, and lessons are available from local fishing outfitters. For an excellent, detailed guide to fishing in this area, pick up a copy of the Lake City Fishing Guide at the Visitor’s Center Bait and Spinner Fishing: Continental Reservoir / Deer Lakes / Lake San Cristobal / Rio Grande Reservoir Fly Fishing: Cebolla Creek / Heart Lake / Henson Creek / Lake Fork of the Gunnison

Our sympathies! It’s the most bittersweet of all Lake City experiences. You finally found us, but you have to leave right away. Our suggested itinerary: Come back soon. Or, change your mind and stay another day. Before you have to go, we suggest that you take a walk down historic Silver Street to see the heart of the National Historic District. Then, if you still have some time, steer your car up the first 3 or 4 miles of the Engineer Pass road (County Road 20) for a glimpse into our rich mining and frontier heritage. The scenery is great, and you can go up that far and back, in a regular car, in under 30 minutes.

Autumn in lake city Mother Nature may seem still and quiet, but her creatures are hard at work during the fall. Local people cut and stack firewood for winter. Animals such as elk and deer move to lower meadows and groves; beavers construct lodges; and bears prepare their winter dens. These changes are subtle, however, compared to the wondrous transformation of the aspens and cottonwoods around Lake City as they prepare for the coming winter. There are few sights more glorious than the fleeting moments of gold that herald the new season. How lucky you would be, to see such a thing this September. >>> Photo by Linny Ramundo

When to View Foliage The best time to view the leaves depends on weather conditions during the summer and fall. Typically, aspens in the surrounding mountains start to change at the end of August and continue through the end of September. Peak viewing usually occurs from the second through fourth weeks of September. Visit www.lakecity.com for current foliage conditions through the season.

Autumn Hiking Trails Thompson Lake / Waterdog Lake / Cataract Gulch Ski Hill to County Road 30 / Alpine Gulch

The Fourteeners in Fall Hiking to area Fourteeners in the fall is both possible and spectacular. Once above timberline, you’ll find expansive views of the surrounding mountains and colorful forests. Be sure to check weather reports before heading out, make sure someone knows your itinerary, and be prepared for sudden shifts in the weather. Fall snowstorms are common and sudden - don’t get caught where you can’t get out.

Nellie Creek Road Round Top Road

The Quaking Aspen: Populus tremuloides When the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, the green chlorophyll in aspen leaves evaporates, leaving vivid colors behind for us to enjoy. Aspens may turn yellow, gold, orange, and more rarely, red. During autumn, with white trunks and gold leaves, a stand of aspens can overwhelm your senses. Aspens spread underground, with new trees coming up from the root systems just a few inches below the ground. The largest living organisms on the earth (by weight or volume) are aspens. A single colony of trees, all connected to the same massive root system, is able to span hundreds of acres. The aspen leaf is nearly round, with small toothy edges. The stems of the leaves are flat, which allows them to move freely in even the slightest breeze. When the air moves across the leaves, they clatter and shake, hence the name quaking aspen, or “quakies” as the old-timers sometimes call them.

Winter

In the winter, Lake City has many miles of multi-use trails for all kinds of outdoor fun. It’s a quiet, peaceful time of the year, so you can always make some fresh tracks. Find current, up-to-date weather, road, and recreation conditions at www.lakecity.com/weather.

Hinsdale Haute Route Backcountry Hut System Ski or snowshoe to any of the three cozy yurts in this system. This is the highest hut system in Colorado, offering spectacular settings and views, plus the opportunity for athletes to train at altitudes ranging from 10,600 to 12,000 feet. Each yurt is carpeted, insulated and furnished with wood stoves and firewood, plus propane cook stoves and lanterns, counter space with a sink, and cooking and washing utensils. They are equipped with tables, chairs, beds, cots, and foam sleeping pads, and they sleep from six to eight people. Sherpa and guide services are available.

Snowmobiling

Ice Climbing

You wait in traffic during your daily commute. Why do it during your snowmobile trip? We offer over 112 miles of groomed trails, and plenty of elbow room.

Located just one block south of town, Lake City’s farmed ice climbs are really easy to get to, and there are no lines.

Our snowmobile trails are groomed regularly in the Slumgullion Pass and Cannibal Plateau areas just south of Lake City. Several staging areas offer plenty of parking for your trailers, and our local guides rent everything from snow machines to clothing and helmets (see page 43).

The Lake City Ice Park offers: Up to 15 routes Mixed grades, WI 3 to 5 60 to 100 ft. pitches

For current conditions, plus maps, visit the Lake City Continental Divide Snowmobile Club website at www.lakecitysnowmobileclub.com.

Ice Fishing Gear and licenses are available at our local supply stores. See listings on page 43. Recommended ice fishing locations: • Lake San Cristobal is the closest to town, and the largest body of water in the vicinity. Ice huts can be left up for the weekend. • Brown Lakes, located 28 miles south of Lake City toward Creede . • Road Canyon Reservoir, located just off of the Rio Grande Reservoir Road (FS 520) toward Creede.

The park is open generally from mid-November through mid-March, temperatures permitting. Please check in and sign a waiver form at any of the participating businesses in town. Lake City Ice Climbs, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a one of a kind experience at the Lake City Ice Park. In addition to the Ice Park, you can drive or ski to a number of other climbs around Lake City for a true mountaineering experience. For more information about the Lake City Ice Park, visit Lake City Ice Climbs online at www.lakecityiceclimbs.com.

U se V ehicles R esponsibly

Each area has rules that govern vehicle use. Learn and follow these rules for each area you visit. Stay on designated or existing routes and out of closed areas. Limit your driving in wet conditions to avoid road damage.

Leave N o T race

Remove all evidence of your visit so others will find these areas as beautiful as you do. Take care of public facilities. Leave wild flowers and other natural objects for others to enjoy. Do not deface or dismantle historic or archaeological sites.

R espect O ther V isitors

You share these lands with many others; make sure your fun is not ruining the experience for others around you. Minimize noise, keep pets under control, and drive safely on narrow roads and trails.

K eep W ildlife W ild

Careless visitors can unknowingly disturb the many species of wildlife present on public lands. Do not feed the animals. Enjoy them from a distance. Move quietly through the woods, especially in stream-side areas.

R espect P rivate P roperty

It is your responsibility to know where you are. Be sure you have legal access to the places you want to enjoy.

H ave a S afe T rip

Changing weather and difficult terrain can pose hazards to the unprepared visitor. Be sure someone knows where you are going and when you plan to return. Be ready for changing conditions and stay within your capabilities.

W eather

We enjoy over 300 days of sunshine every year and a cool, dry climate. Summer daytime highs are typically in the 70s or low 80s F. Lows in the summer are in the 40s or upper 30s F. Temperatures at higher elevations are usually lower than in town. A jacket and/or sweater is recommended for your visit during the summer. View current weather readings and forecasts at www.lakecity.com/weather.html. Conditions can change quickly in the mountains, so be prepared for anything.

Lightning

Thunderstorms are typical daily occurrences during the summer, especially during July and August. Locally, we refer to this as the “monsoon” or rainy season. Stay off of ridges and away from open ground to avoid lightning strikes. Longer hikes are best started very early in the morning so that you can be down off the mountain when the lighting starts.

T he S un

It is essential to wear eye protection, a hat, and sunscreen when outdoors. The sun is many times more intense here than at sea level.

A ltitude

Gains in altitude can affect anyone, especially when traveling above 7000 feet. Sometimes, the effects can include: headaches, breathlessness, fatigue, nausea or vomiting, inability to sleep, and swelling of the hands, face, or feet. Some ways to reduce your symptoms: avoid strenuous activity for the first day or two of your visit, drink extra water, and avoid alcohol. Check with your doctor before going to high altitude if you have a heart or lung condition. If your symptoms worsen, consult a doctor immediately.
