Leadville, Colorado
Where history meets adventure.
Leadville is the highest incorporated city in the United States — nestled near the headwaters of the Arkansas River in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.
Once a booming gold and silver mining town, Leadville was Colorado's second most populous city in the late 19th century. Today its Historic District retains many structures from that storied era.
Modern Leadville has transformed into a hub for outdoor enthusiasts offering skiing, cycling, hiking, climbing, and more — all with the authentic character of a true mountain town.
