Aww thank you so much!! 😊So glad you enjoyed it! It was one of my favorites so far! -Katelyn

[@FullTimeDreamRV]

Wow, that pizza looks great, I could hear that crunch. Looks like a beautiful place to camp. Great video tour! Thanks.

[@NewstateNomads]

Yesss! I still dream about that pizza 😆🍕 Leadville was wonderful, one of our favorite stops in Colorado! Thanks so much for watching! -Katelyn

[@sherriweber7105]

Love this video m! Hope Howard was alright from his his fall. The dogs were sure tired out at the end of the hike. The pizzas both looked good. I liked the one with pineapple on it. Mmmm goood!! Glad you had fun. Dogs too! Can’t wait until next video. See you soon! Stay safe and travel safe.

[@Earthylovingurl]

Love ur energy ! I’m moving to Leadville can’t wait for the pizza !

Even in the dead of summer, a little precipitation in the High Country equates to a Texas winter...Another fun video!

[@NewstateNomads]

You're right about that! Thanks so much, Steven!

I have officially added it to our bucket list..... great video ya’ll.....

Thanks, Marco! We really do have a lot of fun traveling and sharing our journey with people like you. 👍 Lots more adventures to share! -Howard

[@moretoknowshow1887]

Adding mountain high to the must try pizza places list. Also neat Doc Holliday fact: He started his love of gambling here in Dallas while he was practicing dentistry..

[@NewstateNomads]

Yes! Glad to what that, it's so worth it! Oh how cool, didn't know that! It was so cool to learn he had lived in Leadville. We toured Tombstone last year so it really brought it full circle! -Katelyn

[@michaelboyle4119]

We where there in 2020 . Pizza was amazing. Stayed at sugar loafin campground. It was wonderful. Ging back this summer.

[@RobandMarvy]

Hi guys! Marvy and I camped this week just north of Leadville. Tmw, Saturday, we will head into town. Thanks for the food tip. I am craving pizza like nobody's business!

[@NewstateNomads]

How was it?? We ate there twice in TWO DAYS it was that good, haha. Hope you had a great time in Leadville, where to next for you? Thanks for watching. 👍 -Howard

Awesome video! Love your channel. Watching from Orlando Florida!

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Carlos! 👋 Thanks so much, we're so glad to hear that. We love Orlando!! Howard lived there for a while. Much warmer there than where we are! -Katelyn

[@dollyla229]

Hi! That pizza looked awesome! Loved the lake on your hike. Hope you move a warmer location 😀

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks, Dolly! Sadly, our location tonight has a low of 30 degrees... 🥶🧊

[@bobmakow55]

Howard I had to laugh when you were trying to guide the two dogs across the logs and one slipped off got back on then it pushed the other off. But then you said you fell so I felt bad for laughing. I enjoy your videos

[@NewstateNomads]

It was quite dramatic, wasn't it?! Haha I was so glad he was ok! I had turned around just in time to see him go down and thought he broke his wrist! 😳 Piper and Ella are a mess 😆 usually they're good at hiking, not that day! -Katelyn

[@westernslopestuff6693]

I miss Leadville so much...

[@iliveinthewoods]

Nice video. The Highest town in America is Alma on the other side of of the Mtns, to the East. It's a tiny town right outside of Fairplay. Coming from East Tennessee, the altitude kicked my butt. ..but what a nice area. ❤

[@MannyWC]

Incorporated=Leadville vs unincorporated = Alma🎉 both are the highest in their category.

[@13Voodoobilly69]

My mom grew up there. It is a beautiful area.

[@alanross7580]

I visited a friend in Leadville in August of 2019,very beautiful place. Hi Ned from 2 guys and some wire!

[@barbaradowney4207]

I wanted to see that shin...hope it wasn't bad. Yes, get Scout a sweater! Love your videos and I'm so hungry for pizza now.

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Barbara! Luckily his shin didn't look too bad. Definitely hurt worse than it looked. I would eat pizza every day if I could. 😆🍕❤ -Katelyn

[@kaelynluvsya]

Husband and I are in the springs but seriously considering moving to Leadville! This video has only made me want to move there more!

[@NewstateNomads]

We think Leadville is pretty awesome!! If I lived there though I would have to limit myself on that pizza. Haha SO GOOD!

[@kaelynluvsya]

@@NewstateNomads Haha that is actually slightly a concern for me, we are huge fans of pizza! I already told him about that pizza place and he was like “yup, that settles it!”

[@daviddickerson495]

You guys are the second KZbin couple to talk about High Mountain Pies!! I love that place. After spending four days hiking and climbing the Collegiate Peaks area, we stopped there for lunch on our way back to Denver. Returning to Leadville is near the top of my travel list when things get back to normal.

[@NewstateNomads]

Oh so funny! It really is that good, you know! 😆🍕 I bet it was extra yummy after four days of hiking & climbing. Well deserved. We loved our time in Leadville!

[@Nevereverbrake]

Love Leadville even more now. Must try the pizza! 🍕

[@NewstateNomads]

YESSS! It's seriously that good. Not exaggerating. 😊 -Katelyn

[@daviscrt]

great video, will be adding both places to my spreadsheet. Don

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Don! So glad to hear that, thanks so much for watching. 😊 -Katelyn

[@kathywatts3659]

Now I want to go Leadville and eat pizza! Thank you both for another inspiring video. Kaitlyn, what brand of hiking boots do you wear?

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Kathy! I was drooling the whole time I edited this video, wishing we could have more of that pizza! Thanks for watching! My boots are Keens, they're listed in our Amazon store at this link. It took me a while to find hiking boots that were really comfortable and I LOVE these!! -Katelyn www.amazon.com/shop/newstatenomads

[@marshakellison9448]

Very good job I loved it. I don't comment much but it is such a good job I just had to,

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Marsha! Wow, thank you so much! We appreciate your compliment. ❤️😊 -Katelyn

[@peleger1]

Camping below the dam was great and a person used to be able to camp there anytime in peace. Now, if you're lucky enough to find a spot you'll end up with people all around you. Similar in most all public lands in all of Lake County. I get the attraction to Leadvile because I've lived here my whole life, I definitely understand the economic benefits of our home being finally discovered, but my home is not the same place that it once was. Good or bad (depends who you talk to)...it has been changed. I personally still haven't decided.

[@DeanJohnson67]

had to watch a second time since I have a huge pizza craving! been going there for LT100 for 7 years and will be back again this year but staying for a few months in the Camper! of course that means High Mountain Pies at least once a week!

[@rachellemackenzie4191]

Terrific video, as always- thank you. Chuckled when you mentioned you were “scouting camping locations” and Scout looked at you like ‘What?’ :) I agree with you Katelyn, LOVE pineapple on pizza! You two are great together. Look forward to your videos every week. It’s like watching the history channel and travel channel together with a little bit of food and comedy channel. I can now cancel my cable. :)

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Rachelle! Thank you so much! Haha, I laughed when I watched that clip back and saw her look at me. too cute. Yesss pineapple all the way! 🍕 That is the ULTIMATE compliment, you seriously made our day!!!! ❤️ -Katelyn

[@ericvaneck4296]

Pizza looked good! Scout sure on alert all the time, no critters will sneek up on you two.

[@NewstateNomads]

It was amazing! And you're right! She is the best guard dog and little hiker! ❤️

[@canamm]

I've been visiting Leadville since my kids were kids. They're now in their 30's. I almost always find a free camping spot to stay while I'm up there. I'd sure like to know where that spot is that you stayed, it doesn't look familiar. I'll be patronizing High Mountain Pies on the next trip up!

[@virginialemm864]

Beautiful country! You really had a great time in Leadville. We were there years ago, and it was gorgeous. After 45 yrs of smoking, I quit 12 yrs ago.(Yay!), but have difficulty with higher elevations (COPD, unfortunately), so thanks so much for the re-tour! BTW, I checked-out your pizza place on Yelp...I think I may just have to “train” for high elevations and go get me one! 😂🍕🥗🍷

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Virginia! Thanks so much for watching. It is such a cool little city! Wow, 12 years! That's amazing, great job! 👏 Oh yeah, that pizza place is legit! So good. -Katelyn

Hi Gwen!

[@MrfiX725]

I'm subscribing cuz this was a great episode but most importantly, because of this: "And pineapple which absolutely belongs on pizza".

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

Another great 16 minutes of enjoyment watching you discover the world around you...not to mention giving me ideas about pizza toppings. Your dogs sure looked tuckered out after their long walk ( their legs are so much shorter than yours 😂). Stay safe, keep warm and ttfn🌷👍❤️!🙋‍♀️(TaTaForNow)

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Oma! Thanks so much! Right?! Those pizza toppings were so unique and equally as delicious. The pups are so funny, they slept for two days! 😆🐕 -Katelyn

We loved it too Karen! What a beautiful place to call home 😊♥️

[@exploringcoasttocoast0203]

We almost went there this year but our plans changed so I'm glad you went so we could see it. What was that lake you hiked to? Looked like a beautiful spot. Great video.

[@NewstateNomads]

Aww so glad you got to vicariously visit and I hope you get there in person one day soon! 😊 That was the Timberline Lake Trail past Turquoise Lake. A great hike! Thanks so much for watching! -Katelyn

[@blessed2rvgmail379]

Ouch! Sorry about that fall! The pups were so cute all pooped out! 🤭

[@NewstateNomads]

So glad he was ok! The way he fell, I thought he broke his wrist! 😬 The last thing we need is another hospital visit haha and yes! They slept for days 😆

High Mountain Pies is the best. I hope you had a chance to visit Melanzana and pick up some hoodies to warm you up.

[@NewstateNomads]

It really was! So delicious. Sadly, they were closed while we were there but we got to peek in and watch them making everything which was really cool! -Katelyn

[@b1mfua33]

Thank you for this wonderful video,just wondering where the puppies stay when you go out? And by the way,that pizza looked delicious!!

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you so much for watching! The pups stay nice and warm inside the RV. We have a baby monitor/webcam that sends us notifications for temperature, noise, even humidity level so we can keep an eye on them. Works over the hotspot connection we have setup in the RV! And you are so right, that pizza might be the best we've ever had! 👍

[@NewstateNomads]

Here's the exact baby monitor we use, it is fantastic and even has built in battery backup in case the main RV batteries were to fail. Gives us great peace of mind. Arlo Baby Monitor amzn.to/3l114Cs

Scout needs a coat she’s not in Mexico anymore 😂😂 poor girl. It’s crazy to be that cold in August, guess thats what 10k feet gets ya. Great video ✌🏼

Right?! Help me tell Howard she needs a sweater 😆 we couldn't get over the weather, clearly haha we mentioned it so many times!! Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, it was a fun one to put together. -Katelyn

[@mwb6772]

Have you guys ever had any problems dropping your rig off in the boonies and taking your car to town? Just curious. Thanks

[@NewstateNomads]

Hey there! We haven't any issues so far. We also have a webcam to keep an eye on the pups and the rig. That helps with peace of mind 😊 -Katelyn

[@ron1129]

Wow, what are your thoughts about a tropical person moving in to Leadville, Colorade?

[@NewstateNomads]

Ron, are you the Tropical person? 🤔😂 I would say it depends on how you feel about cold weather and snow. At that elevation, winter is long. 4x4 vehicle I would think would be a must. Beyond that, Leadville seems like a great community to live in! -Howard

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

You must be able to shovel snow ....lots of it sometimes. And if you don’t enjoy spending time outdoors in cold weather, then the winter will feel *very* long.

[@charliewatkins4571]

So you drove all the way to Leadville to get pizza?! Wait... I can understand that!

Trever, thanks so much for watching, and a great question! We have our own business that provides marketing and communications services to companies across the US. We typically "bank" our hours each week to give us extra flexibility for exploring the areas we travel. Has worked pretty well for us these last two years! Hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍 -Howard

Not the highest city or “town” in Colorado though! Was a really fun video. Thank you for sharing💛

[@NewstateNomads]

Glad you enjoyed it, Jen! You got me thinking, so I of course consulted Google. 😂Colorado's official tourism just confirmed it in a recent article, Leadville IS the highest incorporated city in CO! -Howard www.colorado.com/articles/9-reasons-why-locals-love-leadville-and-so-will-you#:~:text=It's%20the%20epitome%20of%20Colorado,Massive.

[@tarac5137]

Unless Leadville has two delicious pizza places, you’re the third channel I’ve seen recently that has RAVED about the pizza there! Looks super yummy. I always wonder what our Florida dog would do if she went somewhere cold.

[@NewstateNomads]

Oh that's too funny! We're pretty sure that's the only one in town, it's a tiny city 😆 Scout is so funny, she shivers if it's below 60. Poor girl! Your Florida pup would probably be the same 😄🐾 -Katelyn

[@claudiazahnd-prezioso7523]

Of course, Pizza Hawaii IS a thing ! Very delicious thing in fact. In Switzerland it's on every Pizza menu card. But with Ham...not bacon.

[@hongmike9374]

How about altitude sickness?

[@NewstateNomads]

Great question. To our knowledge, neither of us have experienced altitude sickness. A caveat is we generally stay longer at each location so we might be acclimating ourselves each time? Thanks for watching! 👍 -Howard

[@kylepifer9509]

What’s that orange vest one of the dogs wearing??🤳

[@NewstateNomads]

Kyle, it's the backpack Piper wears on hikes that carries a water bowl, snacks and backup bags. She's so much better behaved when she has a "job" to do and wears it! www.amazon.com/shop/newstatenomads?listId=2SIMV9HXO944A&ref=exp_newstatenomads_vl_vv_mw

[@markjung2766]

@@NewstateNomads There's a movie from the '70s called "The Eiger Sanction" that has Clint Eastwood and George Kennedy's characters climbing up a giant mountain in the Alps during the heat of summer. When they reach the top all tired and sweaty, Clint says "Want a beer?". George says "If you hauled beer up this rock, you're insane!" Clint says "I didn't carry it -- you did. It's in your pack." Once you reached the lake for snacks, I thought for sure you were gonna reach into that pup's backpack and pull out a couple of those "Build bridges not walls" beers!

[@TonyBar323]

Pineapple definitely belongs on pizza!

[@NewstateNomads]

Yesss! Thank you Jamie! 👐🍍it's so good. I wasn't always a believer but I fell in love with in a few years ago and it's my favorite topping now! -Katelyn

“What is happening? It’s summer; it’s August at 10,000 ft.” - Um, yes... Late August sees the beginning of *autumn* at that elevation, with some plants’ leaves already beginning to turn color and periodic cold snaps. Nothing unusual. We *never* pack away our down parkas up here! 🥶😁
