Leadville
We've been told more than once that the Leadville area is a well-kept secret. Leadville is a special place...a treasure...a gem in the middle of Colorado. Located within easy driving distance from Denver and Colorado Springs, along the Top of the Rockies Scenic and Historic Byway, Leadville is a legendary frontier mining town with seventy square blocks of Victorian architecture, an adjacent 20 square miles of mining district, and history galore. It's been said that everyone who is anyone has been to Leadville...some even struck it rich here!
Leadville sits in a high mountain valley surrounded by snow-capped peaks. In fact, it is North America's highest incorporated city at a lofty perch of 10,430 feet. With 310 days of sunshine each year and summer temperatures seldom over 80 degrees, Leadville, Twin Lakes, and Lake County have been a mountain retreat for over 100 years. Their local ski area, Ski Cooper, is the place where the men of the 10th Mountain Division trained and brags, even now, of "skiing the way it used to be".
There are pleasant surprises around each and every corner... museums tucked with history, quaint little coffee houses, elegant Victorian bed and breakfasts, the greatest of antique and gift shops, and... people leisurely living life and enjoying themselves. Whether you go to look or muster up the courage to challenge your limits by taking part in their extreme sporting events, you will take a memory of special place and unique people with you when you leave.
