When Color is King
Greetings!
Mother Nature may seem still and quiet right now, 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.

A Historic Lake City Geocache Adventure
Over 200 people of all ages roamed Lake City this summer while participating in our new Geocache Adventure. The program will run through the end of September, so now is the time to take part!
Have fun with your friends and family by visiting some of Lake City's most interesting historic sites. Use your own GPS unit to find ten different caches hidden at specified coordinates. Pick up a souvenir label at each cache, and receive a souvenir pin when you find all ten.
This geocache adventure is free and open to all ages. Pick up your free passport at the Lake City Visitor Center at 800 Gunnison Avenue to get started. Visit our geocache web page for more information or call 800-569-1874. |
