Legacy Lodge was a place we called “home” since 2006- that setting provided a unique setting for ministry to pastors, families, friends and others invited into the One Legacy Experience. The Lodge provided a perfect setting to spend time with the Father and experience His transforming grace and One Legacy, INC is now moving that same ministry to Texas (more to come soon). Legacy Lodge will continue to operate and provide a ministry setting outside of One Legacy, INC.
Legacy Lodge is located in the historic town of Lake City, Colorado on the western slope of the Continental Divide. Within just a few miles of this very special get-a-way are four of Colorado’s highest and majestic mountain peaks.
The Lodge was purchased in October 2006 by the current owners
and is (for now), one of the best-kept secrets in Colorado.
ABOUT LAKE CITY, CO
Jagged peaks pierce deep blue skies, while wildlife teems in rocky canyons and on high valley floors. Crystalline rivers flow from altitude, while unique geology promises adventure and spurs endless exploration.
And, continuously, within this wondrous dreamscape, whispers from the past mingle with voices of the present in the cool, rarefied air of remote Hinsdale County and its historic town of Lake City.
Encompassing more than one thousand square miles of untamed beauty, “ah factors” are a constant in this northeastern corner of Colorado’s mystical San Juan Mountains. From climbers to fishermen and hunters, from 4-wheel enthusiasts to hikers, bikers and horseback riders, from birdwatchers to Old West history buffs – magical moments are spun into heirloom memories passed on and recreated generation after generation.
What We Don't Have
• Commercial chains - no Walmart or food chains. You have to drive over an hour to find any kind of major retail or food chains.
• Stop lights. There is not one stop light in Hinsdale County. There are stop signs but not many of them.
• Traffic. Now July tourism can be an exception to that rule or herds of wildlife can be considered traffic, but we rarely have anything resembling city traffic.
• Light pollution. Lake City has the most beautiful night skies and nothing to keep you from being able to enjoy it with a naked eye.
• Noise. It is nice quite around here.
• Great cellular service. We do have cellular service, Verizon gets the best reception, but we do have plenty of free wi-fi hot spots around town. There is no cell service within 5-10 miles out of town in any direction and it is not likely to pick up for at least an hour until you hit Gunnison or Creede.
WHY WE ARE UNIQUE
• Lake City is the only town in Hinsdale County.
• Hinsdale County is made up of 96% public lands. That means that we have the fewest miles of roads per person, plus the most land area located far from roads, making Hinsdale County the most remote county in the lower 48.
• Hinsdale County is made up of 4 wilderness areas and 2 wilderness study areas.
• We are located at the crossroads of two major scenic byways: Silver Thread Scenic Byway (Hwy 149, 2 wheel drive) and Alpine Loop Backcountry Byway (CR 30/20, 2 wheel & 4WD).
• We were designated National Historic District in 1978, boasting over 200 historic structures.
• We have reconstructed over 500 feet of original boardwalks in our historic downtown.
• Lake San Cristobal is the second largest natural lake in the state.
• We have hundreds of miles of hiking and off-road trails.
