The ultimate adventure guide
The Mineral Belt Trail is one of the highlights of Leadville.
Wildflowers abound along the route.
The trail is in great shape and well-graded.
One of many artifacts and informative displays along the route.
Another great excuse to stop.
Abandoned mine structures along the trail.
One of the densest collection of mines is in California Gulch.
Much to see all along the trail.
Needless to say... no climbing!
Huge tailings piles are everywhere in the mining district.
Not sure who would need this warning sign!
This distinctive building is next to the parking and the trail start/end point.
The high point of the trail is at 10,606 feet.
This structure dates back to the 1880s.
