Parks & Nature

On the historic register, built in late 1800's people used to travel to this resort via Ferry. The College has refurbished most buildings with grant monies. An easy hike, bring lunch - well worth it! Mud season requires good shoes. http://www.usbr.gov/gp/multimedia/archive/glimpse/interlaken.html

Family style restaurant (closed Sunday's). Mixed reviews - some say food is out of a can. Contrary - I worked there as a teenager and sorted dry beans. The food is from scratch, the restaurant is converted from a home which is not typical. But neither is Leadville. The stuffed sopapilla deluxe with shredded chicken or beef, red chile and a side of sour cream rocks!

For lunch or grab and go it’s good home made food! (burritos, hot sauce, pork tenderloin, burgers etc.). Rare occasions I eat fries, they always taste fresh here. My favorite is a bean burrito just the way they make it and about 8 hot sauce cups, that way there's few extra cups for scrambled eggs in the morning! Their hot sauce is pretty awesome. https://www.facebook.com/leadvillegringo/
