Leadville's newest (and now only) brewery. A family-friendly place that usually has sidewalk chalk and corn hole. Dogs are not allowed. I haven't tried any of the food yet, but they just hired a new chef to overhaul the menu. The pale ale, lager, and porter are all good,.

The local coffee shop is a happening scene. You can always find locals on their laptops or just sitting around discussing local issues. The breakfast burritos are delicious and the coffee is good. They even have a self-serve station in the back if you just want a regular coffee and don't want to wait in line. The walls are decorated with art from local artists, including the beautiful terrain carvings by Peter Frykholm.

Our local ski mountain is top-notch for family fun. With lower prices and shorter lines than the surrounding resorts, it is a favorite among locals. The ski/snowboard lessons are amazing, especially for the little ones. You'll be amazed by the skills of our local 3 & 4-year-olds. There is also child-care available, but only for potty-trained kids.

Consejos para la ciudad
Qué empacar
Bring layers. And sunscreen/sunhats.
Even though the record high temperature in Leadville is only 85, prepare for some intense heat.... and extreme cold. Because we are 2-miles closer to the sun, you can get a sunburn here in the winter. The sun is HOT! But cross the street to the shady side and you need your jacket. Be aware that even in the summer it gets pretty chilly at night. Layers are encouraged for all seasons.
