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.)

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

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.

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!

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?

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 😃

🙈 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! 😄
