Autumn is wonderful time of year in Colorado. Leadville is beautiful historic mining town that rest atop the majestic Colorado Rocky Mountains. It is a very high mountain town and the winters are long and bitterly cold; many miners died of exposure and starvation back in the day. Situated at an elevation of 10,152 feet, Leadville is the highest incorporated city in the United States. The views in all directions are amazing. Photo: © James "Bo" Insogna
