This Rocky Mountain City Is the Highest in the U.S.-and No, It's Not Denver

Surrounded by two of Colorado's highest "14ers" (mountains that rise above 14,000 feet), Mount Elbert and Mount Massive, Leadville is a playground for every kind of outdoor enthusiast. You can hike or bike the Mineral Belt Trail, paddle on Twin Lakes, or hit the slopes at Ski Cooper, all within minutes. And there's plenty to explore off the trails in town, too, with a growing arts scene, annual festivals, and a community that's as warm as the high-altitude sun.
