Two-wheeled travel lets you see the sights at your own pace, and the altitude kicks in a challenge.
Winter Fat Biking
With 60 miles of groomed trails and plenty of sunny days, Leadville winters are made for fat biking fun.
Trails
Choose the Mineral Belt Trail or the East Side Mining District for above-treeline views of the mountains. These groomers also wind past mining structures, under a deep blue winter sky.
For forested scenery, loop ice-covered Turquoise Lake, check out the new trails at Turquoise Lake, or curve through the pines at Timberline Trails, both groomed regularly. Or explore a 15-mile groomed network at the Tennessee Pass Nordic Center, featuring rolling, wooded trails or winter-white meadows.
