Leadville is an old mining town deep inside of Colorado's Rocky Mountains. Overtime, mining activity has slowed but Leadville has been able to thrive as a tourist town over the years. Nearby is Colorado's highest point, Mt. Elbert, which is also the highest point in all of Colorado. There's many things to go do and see nearby, and there's more than enough beautiful scenery to look at.

Many years ago, we passed through Leadville while vacationing in Colorado. We stopped for lunch at that Pizza Hut on the left--as you drove out of town. I was hoping I would see it! I regret that we didn't have more time there. We were trying to take in as much of Colorado as we could on a limited amount of time. Beautifully done video!

In the years following the end of the Civil War, my great-grandfather came to Colorado and lived initially in Leadville working as a chemist in an assay office. His son, my grandfather, ended up a chemist as well and taught at the School of Mines in Golden. The house and office my great-grandfather knew in Leadville are long gone but I often think of the raw energy that mining town possessed back in the late 19th century. Fun video! 👍

@302Mustang13
@302Mustang13 2 года назад
10,000 feet elevation should require minimal to no acclimatization for basic tasks. Sunscreen and hydration is more important. Now if you went to Leadville to run 5 miles without time to adjust, you'd find it very difficult.
