Summer
In Leadville, the heart of the Rockies, the summer activities are endless!
- Hike the fourteeners or stroll to view wildflower covered fields, unless you’d rather do it on horseback.
- Biking on challenging single tracks, or on the paved bike path circling town through the Old Mining District.
- White Water Rafting the gorgeous Arkansas River; Riding on the scenic train.
- Boating and Fishing at the surrounding lakes, unless fly fishing in crystal clear creeks is more your style…
Winter
You are in the middle of “snow paradise”, surrounded by world class ski resorts, from 20 minutes to 50 minutes away, with Copper Mountain, Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, and Keystone, just to name a few. If you are new to the ski/snowboarding world, Ski Cooper, just 20 minutes away is just the place to introduce yourself to the sport at a very friendly price. If you’d rather enjoy the peace and quiet, or the challenge of back country skiing, you will be more than impressed by your surroundings, unless you’d rather explore them snowshoeing, or on a snowmobile tour, or even go ice fishing.
Summer or winter, the historical downtown Leadville will greet you with its must-see National Mining Museum, historical Tabor Opera House, antique stores, coffee shops, and much more…
Your options are just endless, this is why people come back again, and again to this area.
