Lake City Ice Park sits in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, offering one of the most accessible and concentrated ice climbing experiences in Colorado. Frozen waterfall routes line the canyon walls just steps from the road, spanning a range of grades that make it a legitimate destination for first-time ice climbers and seasoned veterans alike. The remote setting in Lake City only adds to the appeal. This is mountain town ice climbing at its best.

The park's route variety is what keeps climbers coming back. Beginner-friendly pillars sit alongside bigger multi-pitch lines that make it a great prep day for bigger backcountry climbs nearby. The canyon's aspect and elevation make it the most reliable ice climbing location in Colorado often forming in November and lasting well into April.

As the only company with guides in town Colorado Climbing Company guides know Lake City Ice Park like the back of their hand and can tailor the day to your experience and goals. Lake City itself is worth the drive, and a day on the ice here is hard to match anywhere in the state.
