Fourth of July in Lake City

The most popular time to be in Lake City is the Fourth of July.  The town hosts a parade, and then everyone gathers for a day of festivities in the town park before capping the day off with fireworks launched from a ridge on the edge of town.

Around Lake San Cristobal

When I have some free time between fishing trips, I often hop on the bike and ride around Lake San Cristobal and take in the views.
