Abundant Recreation<br />
Sunshine, fresh air and mountains as far as the eye can see.<br />
Ride<br />
Race<br />
Clear, sparkling rivers, streams and lakes for fishing, floating and<br />
paddling.<br />
Enjoy trails that range from short and easy enough for beginners, to<br />
what may well be the most challenging endurance courses in the world.<br />
Visit our family-oriented ski resort and golf course that are both best<br />
described as friendly, affordable and beautifully maintained. These are<br />
just a few of the reasons travelers come from around the globe to play,<br />
train and compete in Leadville and Twin Lakes.<br />
Ride on. So many choices! Ride a bike on the roads, on<br />
the trails or in the snow, or a horse, a snowmobile, a<br />
sled pulled by dogs or an ATV through the San Isabel<br />
and White River National Forests. Or ride a<br />
motorcycle on winding country roads. Road cyclists<br />
love the challenging beauty of Independence Pass and<br />
the Turquoise Lake routes. Ride a green, blue or black<br />
diamond run at Ski Cooper. You can even sit back,<br />
relax and take a ride on a stagecoach or the historic<br />
Leadville Railroad.<br />
Play<br />
Against the clock or against your fellow athletes, test<br />
your mettle here. In addition to the epic Leadville Race<br />
Series 100-mile and 50-mile foot and mountain bike<br />
races, there are 5ks and 10ks, fun runs, paintball<br />
biathlons, triathlons and marathons. Race on skis,<br />
snowshoes or snow bikes. Watch skiers pulled by<br />
cowboys on horseback race down snow-packed<br />
Harrison Avenue during the annual ski joring weekend.<br />
Fore! Mt. Massive Golf Course is the highest course in<br />
North America, where a ball flies further! Surrounded<br />
by snow-capped mountains and forest, the greens rival<br />
those at high-end resorts. You won’t find the attitude<br />
or the high prices here, but you will find a peaceful,<br />
laid-back course that welcomes players of all ages and<br />
abilities. Also find golf cart and club rentals, lessons, a<br />
grill and a pro shop. In winter, the greens transform<br />
into groomed ski trails, where well-behaved canine<br />
companions are welcome to come and enjoy the<br />
experience, too.<br />
