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.

The "Unsinkable Molly Brown" is from Leadville, Colorado and survived " The great Colorado flood" when she was a baby. Later. She would survive the sinking of the Titanic.
Another interesting fact about Leadville-There is a large Federal fish hatchery, raising many thousands of native river species 👍
Nice!
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!
You ate at pizza hut?? LUCKY!
Unfortunately it's not here anymore, the place is empty, but at least there's high mountain pies, a local pizza place
I ate at that pizza hut back in 1993.. was skiing at ski cooper that day.
Spent 17 years in Leadville before moving on. Summers are nice but I do not miss the winter.
It's kind of a dump. I'd rather live in Fairplay
OMG thanks so much for posting this. I had no idea that this is the highest U.S. incorporated city. Stunning scenery, history and vibe. Very very well done!
My grandfather, father, and all of my siblings were born in Leadville. Such a special place! My sister is raising her family in my Gramps' house.
Seems like a nice place to visit, especially for the scenery. Living in the Midwest my whole life, the views look spectacular. Great video as always, Chris!
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! 👍
I used to haul Miller beer from Irwindale,Ca to the local beer distributor in Leadville back in the day.
I was raised in Leadville but left to go to college and never returned. I miss it every day. Would like to retire there, but it's too expensive.
I loved Leadville! At the time I was there they had the best Prime Rib Steak House! Also a beautiful Opera House!
Quincys!
Never heard of Leadville until it was the answer on Jeopardy.
Stayed here in a tiny home airBNB for a week in may 2021 and visited all the natural beauties in a 150 mile radius and I still have sooooo much more to see. Mile high pies is the best pizza I’ve ever had. Need to go back
When I was a toddler I lived in Leadville and I had cousins that loved there for years. We moved to Salida during my kindergarten years. But then moved to West Virginia. As an adult I'm now in Flagstaff, AZ not quite 10,000ft but it is 7,000 ft, similar to durango.
I was there in the winter 89-90..we got stuck by the biggest snow storm lve ever seen but the friends and neighbours made us felt like home the days we spent there, awesome countryside..🎉❤😊
2-11-23 Leadville!!! Here i come🙋🏽♂️
stayed there for a week. really nice place. favorite place to eat there was The silver Llama
My paternal side of the family immigrated from Ireland and raised my Father and his five siblings in Leadville. My Grandmother's family settled in Leadville in the 1800's. Have many relatives buried in the Evergreen Cemetery. I love going up there! Wonderful memories!
Forgot to mention, there is a song written about “Baby Doe.” She was the girlfriend of Horace Tabor and he wanted to marry Baby Doe but Horace’s wife wouldn’t give him a divorce. Many years later after Horace died, Baby Doe moved out to the lead mines and lived there until the day she died.
The whole town was once a superfund site. Hard to believe.
Ahh my home state of Colorado. Leadville is barely higher than my work’s elevation. Leadville has one of the largest Aspen tree groves in the entire continent.
We have friends who live there who run the boat tour of Twin Lakes, a little further south…..The Leadville Colorado and Southern is a tourist railroad you can take out of there.
I'm going to leadville to hike and train before I run my 1st marathon in october
U.S. 24 ? Good Ol' Telegraph Rd. ⁉
It would be interesting to follow that end to end ... or even from the Mich. state line up into the Thumb .
Maybe I did 👀
I was born in Leadville, in 2007 we all thought we would had to evacuate due to the mind flooding. Emergency sirens were tested and we were all waiting for it to happen.
Highest in Colorado on two counts. BTW in Colorado, elevation and snowfall measurements are the most important metrics for towns/cities.
Houghton, Michigan gets more snowfall than any other city in the country.
One of my aunts was born in Leadville. My grandparents moved from Como to Leadville. In the 30s.
My sister use to live there. She said there were a lot of bars in town
Hey chris its been a while since i commented on your vids this was a short but sweet video my room mate used to live in Denver just saying) keep up the good work on making vids for us fans thx man have a good day
stunning
There's a full pipe under the lake that appears in a few skateboard videos.
Thank you!! I drove by near quiet few times but never been to Leadville..
8:06 I have drunken in the Silver Dollar Saloon, from England 🏴
You passed up "Melanzana." A very sought out but hard to get fleece micro grid hoodie that hikers from all over the world want. You can't get it on line. It has to be purchased there. I have 5 of them. Hopefully more to come.
Being from Michigan ive always wondered how my body would handle heights that high in the mountains
I felt like I didn't drink enough water that day, even though I chugged a 64 ounce yeti of water and had a Gatorade.
I’m from Michigan, and adjusted to Colorado’s altitude perfectly. I never needed to adjust living in Colorado’s front range. I had a blood oxygen reading of 100%. I can exert myself at 11,000 feet above sea level.
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.
Yeah you don't really notice it, even when doing moderate exercise. It actually it seems EASIER to breathe. When you really notice it is the next morning after only having a few beers, holy shit beware of high altitude hangover
@@The_Conspiracy_Analyst i used to live in the desert at 4,000 feet elevation and would run regularly and it's definitely noticable at first. After 3 months I was good.
I miss Leadville, I lived there in the 80's I try to go to Boom Days every year. You showed, drove by my dad's cousins house. Also went by The Manhattan saloon, I live above it
I do miss my other hometown.
Noticed you were speeding when you came into town buddy. 39 in a 25 will get you a nice door prize in this city.
I was actually going 89. I think a few bulbs on that sign were broke.
@@ChrisHarden lol, you were going for broke
@@ChrisHarden oh well you know what they say? It ain't speeding lest you get caught!
Completely left out Doc Holiday shot his last victim there .visited the saloon that is still there . And played the piano that is still there . And a scene of the movie Tombstone was filmed at the saloon. Where Val Kilmer played the same piano .
Great job
Thanks!
You can also see remnants of the Lincoln Highway
Leadville is out in the middle of nothing and yet the home prices are outrageous!
… And there’s some hidden lead poisoning too!
Nice to see Chris "Nostalgia Tours" Harden finally venturing out of the Midwest.
Those who know me from the nostalgia tour days are the real ones.
@@ChrisHarden you need to bring back the intro music from Nostalgic Tours.
@@tacocruiser4238 I stopped doing that because data shows that intros potentially will kill a video. Most people don’t like sitting through even a 15 second intro these days. To those with short attention spans it can feel like an eternity.
@@ChrisHarden I liked the introduction, you had from the days you called your channel Nostalgia Tours. Wouldn't mind if you brought that back, myself. Or at least maybe some sort of very brief intro(like 8-10 seconds long), that uses the music and footage from that.
He went to Buffalo, Memphis, and Toronto early on. I discovered Chris’ channel when it was still called “Nostalgia Tours” and I saw his Detroit mile road videos, East St. Louis, Memphis, & Rockford all in early 2021.
Where is Alma mentioned in this video? Alma's highest U.S. small town !
Great vid
We went here in 2015 and loved it, it's a neat little town. Ate at the Golden Burro it was really good too heard they closed it for a while not sure if it's still open. Great food and great people.
I was in Leadville a few days ago. Golden Burro is open.I suggest Mo 's BBQ off the main street.
Burro is 100% plant based bow
AKA the Brass Ass
My hometown!
From Leadville's Main Street looks well maintained with hardly any abandoned buildings (if any) despite having huge population losses. Wonder why that is?
You’ve missed a lot of interesting features
Leadville Colorado airport KLXV is the highest airport in North American, KTEX, Telluride is the highest with airline service.
When a flat lander (me) lands at KLXV said flatlander gets a certificate of stupidity
Nice climate but not lush enough for me.
Did you get altitude sickness? Driving over Vail and Eisenhower always made me have to pull over and lay down for a bit.
Just a little dehydrated but nothing too bad.
Yes it's quickly dehydrating. Drinking a beer at that altitude will fell like four beers!
Any scary sections on highway 91?
No Texans after Salida.
lol
Do snakes live at such a high elevation?
Great video! What do you use to get the routing info on your dashcam. (Time, Direction, route / street on bottom )?
10.000 Feet
No stop lights??
A lot of cities and towns the size of Leadville don’t have any.
Best city in America 🇺🇸 🏔️
Good to see we let you out of the D.
The D?
See you next time =)
10:04
A lot of the information in this video is in correct. I am a native of Leadville. You need to do your research .
A lot of it is “in correct” eh? Hmm.
FYI, the plural of woman is women pronounced “wimin”…
Please don't forget about Sasquatch! He/she is known to be seen in Leadville.
I have seen him myself.
When I read the title, at first I thought that this town had the highest drug use, rather than elevation
🪴🪴
should go there to get blood test because they don't have that set up for us here in our superfund site for lead contamination. lolzzzzz
Believe in Jesus Christ, trust in Him for your eternal salvation and repent of your sins!
The highest city. Residence are either high or stoned.
I wouldn't put it past them since it is Colorado
Yeah nobody goes there 😂 it’s too high in elevation for us city folk 😂
Grammar please! You have a number of tourists, not an amount.
Hmm.
Everybody can be George Floyd there.
I don't think fentanyl is big there.
Maybe if you're a weak texan
