Highest City in the US

Yup Leadville CO at 10,200 or 10,150 or whatever.  Seems that the number changes.

Anyway, Leadville is WAY up there, but since we are at just under 10,000, we feel that we are close to the top of the US(at least in a house).

Of course, Alma CO is the highest town in the US. -- at 10,355'

So, I guess you want to know what Leadville CO looks like and how cool it might be. Leadville is so trendy that the style is never change anything. Everything is old, and because it is so old, it is trendy. Nothing changes in Leadville, maybe because it is so high?


This is it - Leadville - main street.

Silver dollar saloon!!




Irish Pub! -- likely a remnant of the period of time that Leadville was a major mining town. Employing Irish labor.


Nicely restored building




Well, not REAL Manhattan!
