A Day in the HIGHEST CITY in NORTH AMERICA! Leadville Colorado

[@LesFairall]

Great video! Interesting to see Leadville from a different perspective. Thank you very much!

[@MKandTJ]

Thank you so much! What’s your favorite part about Leadville?

[@johnfayhee3567]

The thing to remember that, though Pb is the highest “city” in the country, it is the third-highest incorporated municipality. Alma is the highest incorporated municipality, followed by Montezuma. Colorado has a population cutoff point differentiating towns and cities. (I think it's 2,000.)

[@MKandTJ]

Yes, which is why we showed the clip from Leadville’s website that specifies “the highest city in North America.” 🙂

[@lockdot2]

Great video! Also, have you checked out Alma, Colorado? Alma is at 10,522 feet in elevation, 10,158 is Leadville, so Alma is a few hundred feet higher.

[@MKandTJ]

Thanks for watching! We wanted to go to Alma but couldn’t fit it in!

When in Leadville, the best resturant for me is Casa Sanchez Mexican Resturant. My wife and I are on a conquest to find a Mexican restaurant that compares to our local Ohio one, El Campesinos in Wooster, but Casa Sanchez is close! Love it!

Your gonna have to come back and ride the Leadville Railroad!

[@MKandTJ]

Yes we will! We met the conductor at dinner one night, he and his family were very nice! It was awesome to meet them!

[@spencerharper6182]

Going for the heavy half marathon this year. This video was perfect for me and the wife to plan our week! Thank you so much!

[@MKandTJ]

How did it go?

[@spencerharper6182]

Finished in 4:28. Normal half is around 220. It was everything I hoped and more. I wanted to quit it sucked I loved every second the town and community was amazing

[@MKandTJ]

@@spencerharper6182 Heck Yeah! Congratulations!

[@raekwonfinsrud]

Great video! We love Leadville!

[@MKandTJ]

Thank you! We do too! Hope to go back sooner than later!

[@PMinPhoenix]

Long time watcher, first time commenter! Would love a future video on how you are funding your adventure? Are you both able to work from laptops? Or did you save up $$$ before taking off?

[@MKandTJ]

Hi! Thank you for watching & commenting 😃 That is an excellent question! It’s a little bit of both actually. Before we started the 50 States Tour we paid off any debt we had. It wasn’t a lot, but we knew we need that gone before we started traveling. Then, we were able to put the money we used to pay off debt towards our travels 🙂 In addition to that, we both work full time. I (MK) work totally remotely. TJ works mostly remotely, but his work takes him all over the country. So we make our travel schedule around his work schedule 😃

Good choice of music.

[@MKandTJ]

Thank you!

I was born and raised in Leadville!

[@MKandTJ]

Very cool 😎 what is something we should know that only locals know?

[@chrisvantrump248]

How could you go to leadville and not showcase the legendary silver dollar saloon? Built in 1878, doc holiday used to play the piano there & deal card. Leadville staple!!!!

[@MKandTJ]

🙈 totally honest, there’s SO many Leadville staples we missed! So much fun packed into one tiny place. Didn’t have time to see it all so I guess that’s just a good excuse to go back! 😄

[@jhemnes1]

First one wheel I've ever seen. Now I'm curious

[@MKandTJ]

They are so fun but a bit dangerous lol 😂

[@hannahbryant405]

Ok my guess for the next state is Hawaii!

[@MKandTJ]

Nope, it a very good guess after that hint in the newsletter 😃

[@nigelhunter1622]

I was born here in 1968

[@MKandTJ]

Happy 56th birthday! 🥳

[@valleygirl4161]

Not A lot of oxygen in Leadville for walking😊

[@MKandTJ]

Lol and to think some people summit multiple 14ers in a day! 😲

Nice climate but too arid looking for me. I like the Appalachian mountains better.

[@MKandTJ]

The Appalachians are pretty great 👍🏼
