Leadville is a charming Victorian town surrounded by the tallest mountains in the state. Leadville has a 70 block National Historic District and seven tours and museums.
This includes the National Mining Hall of Fame & Museum – the largest mining museum in the country, the Matchless Mine and Baby Doe Cabin, the museum that “shows” the tragedy of Baby Doe Tabor and the Healy House & Dexter Cabin - a restored Victorian home and cabin from 1878 that is a project of the State Historical Society.
In town, you can take the Mineral Belt Trail: bike or walk the asphalt trail in the summer, snowshoe or cross-country ski the groomed trail in the winter.
You can explore the large mining district, take the all day hike up and down Mt. Elbert, at 14,433 ft. the tallest mountain in Colorado, or take many of the other hiking or mountain bike trails. With beautiful scenery and endless powder, downhill ski just nine miles outside of town, and cross-country ski or snowmobile on the seldom used, back country trails.
There is fishing and hunting. There are several beautiful lakes, the Arkansas River and several smaller creeks.
