Once a booming mining camp, Leadville is one of the last preserved mining towns in the state and has more original turn-of-the-century buildings and houses than any other mountain community. There is no shortage of heritage tourism opportunities here. Leadville has more museums and historical sites per ca-pita than nearly any other city in Colorado. Originally called Silver City, Leadville was the last place Doc Holliday was a law man and the first proposed capital of the state. In the late 19th century, it was the second most populous city in Colorado, after Denver.

Latino Outdoors Colorado | Interlaken Hike (Leadville / Twin Lakes)

SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2022 AT 10 AM

Latino Outdoors Colorado – Interlaken Hike (Leadville / Twin Lakes)

Latino Outdoors Colorado Outings Leaders, Jacqueline and Rhiannon, will be leading a hike to Inter-Laken Historic Resort in Twin Lakes, Colorado. We plan to meet up at the Get Outdoors Leadville! Community Gear Library at 9:20AM for those who are wanting to caravan, and depart approximately at 9:40AM. You can also meet us at the trailhead at roughly 10AM. The hike is approximately 4.6 miles out and back, an elevation gain of about 213 feet. It will take approximately 2-3 hours to complete this hike so we can enjoy the spectacular views across the region as a grand reward.
The outing is family friendly. No pets, please. The trail, generally considered an easy route, is a very popular area for birding, hiking, and walking, so you’ll likely encounter other people while exploring. It is strongly recommended to bring 2 liters of water, lunch, sunscreen, and a sun hat/baseball hat for this outing. Jacqueline will provide light snacks, binoculars, hand sanitizer, and additional gear (as necessary) for those who are participating.
A simple participant waiver form will be required to read and sign for this outing prior to the hike. Jacqueline is wilderness first aid certified and will have a first aid kit in case there is need for it. There will be a cap for 20 people in order to ensure social distancing in respect to the ongoing pandemic.
Lastly, if you have any questions, please reach out to Jacqueline at: jackie.radilla@latinooutdoors.org. Hope to have you and your family/friends join up for a nice Saturday hike!
