Leadville, an historic mining town, set amongst the highest mountains in the state. With fun restaurants, unique shopping and history surrounding you, this spot has it all. Even a train ride! Best for a summer visit, unless you have great winter tires and are unafraid of winter driving in the mountains. The elevation is 10K+ so if you are suffering from the altitude, don't head to Leadville.
