About this spot

Lake City Ice Wall

The Lake City Ice Wall is a stunning natural wonder located in the Upper Gunnison watershed of Colorado. The ice wall, which is nearly 50 feet tall, is formed by water seeping out of the rock and freezing in the cold temperatures of the winter months. The Ice Wall is a popular destination for ice climbers and hikers alike, providing a challenging and unique experience for those who are up for the adventure. Visitors can hike to the base of the ice wall or climb to the top for an incredible view of the surrounding mountains and valleys. It is truly a sight to behold and is well worth the trek to see it in person.

One of the main reasons to visit the Lake City Ice Wall is for the challenge and beauty of ice climbing. The ice wall offers a unique opportunity for experienced climbers to test their skills on a natural formation. For those who prefer to stay on the ground, the hike to the ice wall is a beautiful and scenic journey through the mountains and valleys of Colorado. Additionally, visitors can see a variety of wildlife in the area, including deer, elk, and bighorn sheep. Overall, the Lake City Ice Wall is a must-see destination for anyone who loves the outdoors and is looking for a unique and challenging experience.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
