Leadvilles fame is often attributed to its elevation. At 10,200 feet, its the highest incorporated city in North America.

With an abundant number of trails and four-wheel-drive roads, any summer day is a perfect day for hiking, mountain biking, four wheeling, and camping. Nearby lakes offer excellent fishing and boating in breathtaking alpine settings and the Arkansas River provides the countrys best whitewater rafting. Lets not forget to mention that Colorados two tallest mountainsMt. Elbert and Mt. Massivegrace Leadvilles skyline, making for spectacular 360 views.
