I wish I could have been there to show you around. I lived there for three and a half years. Both in Twin Lakes and Leadville. There is a lot of beautiful trails and hikes to go on and areas to camp. And just as much to do in the winter, if you like skiing or snowboarding!

[@JeanieMarie]

@@d.wasington4866 Yes, there is so much beauty in that area! Definitely need to explore it more..one day isnt enough! Thank you!

[@lisaaustin7811]

Thank you!!!!!!! Great video❤️❤️❤️

[@ember_notes]

The old mining roads to the east of Leadville are well worth exploring. So gorgeous & historic!

[@JeanieMarie]

Definitely want to check those out one day.

[@lisaemery622]

City on a hill hands down is one of my favorite coffee shops in Colorado! Their lattes are amazing!

[@JeanieMarie]

Yes!! So good!

[@ShowMeAnAdventure]

The train ride looks so fun!!

[@JeanieMarie]

It was soo fun! Really great train ride!

[@lockdot2]

I want to go there someday. Just to see how it feels being so high, and to see how long it takes to get used to the high elevation. At 6,700 feet it took over a week and I still wasn't normal feeling. So it will be neat to see what it is like up there. Plus it looks like there is quite a lot to do there too!

[@ShowMeAnAdventure]

The saloon reminds me of the Ohio Club in Hot Springs, Arkansas! So much history, a little spooky, and a really neat vibe. 💕

[@JeanieMarie]

Definitely! Really cool saloon! If you ever are in Leadville be sure to stop by!

[@Traceysnyder79]

We are heading to Leadville on Saturday! So excited to do the train ride. We will be snowmobiling in the Vale recreation area on Sunday. Thanks for all the travel tips!

[@khinekhine613]

[@Maria131089]

Thank you for a great video! The road is not a loop, right? So you should see everything on the way back if you happend to be on the "wrong" side (2 seater) initially...? Thank you!

[@HenryB24]

Hi, Been really enjoying the Colorado exploration videos since I found your channel last week, but I was wondering if you guys were thinking gonna do a video around Granby? Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work!

[@JeanieMarie]

Thanks so much! Glad you're enjoying my vlog. Yes! Granby is on my list! I'll get there one day.... so many awesome towns in CO to explore!

[@dpstitches]

@@JeanieMarie there are so many places to explore! I've lived in the area for 30 years and am still finding new gems.

[@JeanieMarie]

I can imagine! CO is mind blowing! Love it!

[@DeanJohnson67]

there is a nice trail head for Mt. Massive right there at the Fish Hatchery as well.... i always bring a few bucks in quarters to feed the trout.

[@JeanieMarie]

Yes!! Next time we visit we plan to do some hiking! And yes, we didn't have a quarter or any change on us to feed the fish...I was totally bummed!!

[@dewilton7712]

The last couple weeks of September to the early first part of the week of October is the best time for fall colors.

[@JeanieMarie]

Yup, exactly!

[@kathystarr9004]

While Leadville is the highest incorporated CITY in the United States at 10,430 feet elevation, Alma is the highest incorporated TOWN not in only in Colorado but in North America at 10,578 ft. My family visited Alma, CO and had a debate over it. lol.

[@JeanieMarie]

Correct! Leadville highest city. Alma highest town! 😁

[@coastskyadventures2752]

A simple menu, you know this restaurant is good. If Gordon Ramsay taught me anything about a restaurant, a simple menu, means the food is legit. If I ever make it to this place, I am ordering what you guys got.

[@JeanieMarie]

Yes, hands down! 🙌 I love places with a simple menu! It was delicious too!!

[@SafaryPakistan]

Good

[@ember_notes]

Twin Lakes is awesome to kayak on.

[@lukeclack3256]

Hello, my family and I will be staying at Leadville Colorado (Twin Lakes) and I was wondering what all we should do. We want to go sledding for sure. Hoping you could help us have a great time! Thank you!

[@JeanieMarie]

I've never visited in winter time so I haven't done research. But this vlog has lots of great stops that you may be interested in...however not winter related.

Hey

[@JeanieMarie]

Hey!! 👋

[@VeganHiker]

Simple menus don't sound very welcoming for vegans/vegetarians.

[@JeanieMarie]

True point! Not familiar if steakhouses would ever offer that? I've never paid attention.
