A shot back down main street looking towards the end of town. The fence on the right is where the burned structures once stood. The creek that runs through town, also showing some of the small cabins in town. There are lots of these, used my the owners for weekends and vacations. Very few people winter here.

This small schoolhouse (or church?) sits of the road just as you arrive in Leadville. Storm clouds made this pic turn out very dark.  Section of railroad bed that parallels Hwy 24 and the Arkansas River. Just thought it looked more like a model railroad layout than the real thing.
