Mineral Belt Trail
The Mineral Belt Trail is a 12-mile paved
pathway that circles historic Leadville. This
year-round, non-motorized trail is multi-use
and can be utilized for a variety of activities.
In the summer months walking, biking and
running are popular pastimes for trail users.
Once the snow flies the trail is beautifully
groomed from December – March and can
be used for walking, skiing and fat biking.
DID YOU KNOW it costs about $420.00
every time the trail is groomed in addition to
other annual maintenance costs such as paving,
seal-coats, signage and general upkeep? Information on winter trail grooming
