As you leave Denver and travel north-west into the heart of the Rockies you’ll come across an intriguing little town called Leadville.

Standing at an elevation of over 10,000ft, Leadville is the highest  incorporated city in the US, with a magnificent view across the broad shouldered, ice-laden mounts Elbert and Massive, Colorado’s two highest peaks.

Leadville is rich in character and romance, stroll around the quaint town, which has been designated as National Historic Landmark District and pop into the Tabor Grand Hotel for a spot of lunch.  Learn more about west’s wildest richest, silver mining Boom Town in the many quirky museums.
