Mineral Belt Trail
On the last day of our vacation we walked a portion of the Mineral Belt Trail which circles Leadville, Colorado. The paved trail follows the old tram beds that connected the mining sites. The 12.2 miles trail is used by bicyclists, hikers and, in winter, skiers.

Evidence of mining. Superfund monies have been used to address the harm caused by decades of work. (Larger version)
