Leadville
High-altitude Colorado municipality
Leadville is a city in the Colorado Rockies, the highest incorporated city in the United States at over 10,000 feet elevation.
Once a booming silver mining town in the late 1800s, it drew fortune seekers including figures like Doc Holliday and the Unsinkable Molly Brown.
Today it's known for extreme altitude endurance events: She qualified for the Leadville 100.
