Leadville's historic
mining district, consisting of over 20 square miles of mining history,
is
considered by many to be one of the largest ghost town areas in the state.
Immediately east of Leadville's downtown district, it consists of hundreds
of mining reminents -- headframes, hoist houses, and cabins -- which were
settled in various areas with interesting names like Stumptown and Chicken
Hill. Many other ghost town areas are accessible only by four-wheel drive
-- consult our 4WD recreational
map. When exploring ghost town areas, be sure to take only pictures
and leave with only memories. Most areas are private property and rockhounding
and souvenir hunting are strictly prohibited. If posted, please only view
from afar. Travel & recreate
responsibly, and always tread
lightly.
