All-Year-Round Activities
There's always something to do in Leadville.
Downtown Leadville
The cutest little mining town. It's kept all its charm from the Gold Rush days but also has new, modern restaurants and shops with everything you'll need during your stay with us. Don't forget to stop by Leadville's famous Melanzana for locally made outdoor clothing!
Tabor Opera House
The Tabor Opera House renovation is a $10 million dollar project that should be done by the end of 2021. This building was deemed a National Treasure by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and will soon be the cultural and community center of Leadville.
Railroads
Scenic rides through the Rocky Mountains with views of all the highest peaks, wildflowers, and aspen groves and you'll learn about Leadville's history. This is the perfect trip in the summer or fall.
Museums
