Steep Climb

We were looking at a detailed map showing Jeep trails and found one going to a radio tower above Lake City, Colorado. The day was nice so we thought we'd explore this and see what we found.

Turns out to be a good trail with lots of switchbacks but is really steep in places. I wouldn't advise taking this much later in the season as there is already snow and ice in spots near the top on the north side of the trail.

The views were well worth the trip.

 We capped the day by trout fishing in Lake San Cristobal. No luck but a great place to watch the sun set.
