The Leadville Motor Lodge is a classic roadside motel in Leadville, Colorado, the highest incorporated city in North America at just over 10,000 feet. Rooms give you a simple, comfortable base for a town that sits ringed by the Sawatch Range, including Mount Elbert and Mount Massive, the two tallest mountains in the state.

Leadville grew up as a silver boomtown, and its brick main street still carries that history past Victorian storefronts, old saloons, and the National Mining Hall of Fame. From the lodge you can walk into that historic district or head out to hike, fish, or drive the surrounding passes, then come back to a room where you can rest at altitude.

This is practical lodging for travelers who want to spend their time outdoors and on the street rather than inside a hotel, with easy access to the trailheads, rivers, and small businesses that make Leadville worth the trip.
