Camping in Leadville!

The historic city of Leadville is North America's highest incorporated city (10,430 feet elevation), and the frontier West's wildest, richest, silver mining Boom Town. Now the town is near the base of a new mining operation,the Climax Molybdenum Mine. My brother Mat works for the mining industry and moved his family from Denver to Leadville at the beginning of the year and they have loved it. The scenery is breath taking. The hiking and biking trails are unsurpassed. The people and the community are eclectic and fun. We had the pleasure of visiting Leadville, camping and playing for a few days. We kayaked, fished, biked and laughed...a lot!! It was so much fun!!
