Summer Weekend In Leadville Part I: Walking off Dinner

Sunset over Turquoise Lake as seen from the west side of town
Once again a group of us are at the Leadville Hostel to hike, feed, and otherwise be entertained by the juxtaposition of toxic waste and stunning views that is Leadville.


You don't have to wander far to get off the pavement in Leadville. There are dirt roads everywhere that traverse the hills and sage.
As per usually Wild Bill made a scrumptious dinner fit to feed a peak bagger. Portion control is not my biggest virtue particularly where good food is concerned, so we took the dogs for a walk in the hills behind Leadville. It did not burn off dinner, it did make us feel better. The farther you wander the higher you go and the more stunning the views become.
