Leadville

We went up to Leadville today, a cold snowy day. Leadville is almost 2 hours away but it's a fun visit - and it's only going to get snowier

Mining along I-70 (I assume from the past)



Approaching Leadville



I don't know what this is. An abandoned ski lift?



Downtown Leadville





We drove a few miles to Turquoise Lake - part of the Leadville 100. We ran on Turquoise Lake Road (the opposite side of the lake), given the snow. And only 4-miles (as opposed to 100-miles)









Back in Boulder after stops in Frisco and Idaho Springs - dark sky but no storm
