Colorado Route 82, which winds up the edge of the Rocky Mountains on its way over Independence Pass, is one of the great drives in North America, with spectacular, vertiginous dropoffs and hairpin turns sharp enough to slow you down to 10 MPH. Note that vehicle size restrictions apply.

Independence Pass
[xf_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” animation_type=” animation_duration=’0.5′ animation_delay=’0.5′]
When visiting Leadville, Colorado, drive over nearby Independence Pass, the highest-elevation paved crossing of the Continental Divide in the country. Motorists who make the 6% upgrade and negotiate the hairpin turns on the way up are rewarded by an ample parking area at the top of the pass, and a scenic overlook you can walk out to. Note: Independence Pass is closed during the colder parts of the year.

Leadville
[xf_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” animation_type=” animation_duration=’0.5′ animation_delay=’0.5′]
Wickham’s Fruit Farm recommends Leadville, Colorado. With an elevation over 10,000 feet above sea level, Leadville is notable for being one of the highest-altitude incorporated municipalities in the United States.
Leadville hosts a mountain-bike race and tubing on the Arkansas River. The town features a historic opera house, house museums, and a Victorian hotel. One of the world’s largest molybdenum mines is located nearby.
Because of its high elevation, Leadville has some of the most congenial summertime temperatures in the country, with daily high temperatures in August often around 65 degrees F, and daily lows in the same month sometimes around 32 F. While nearby Aspen and Vail tend to be frequented by tourists, Leadville, in contrast, offers an authentic Colorado experience for those who are willing to venture off the beaten path.
Leadville also has a connection to the North Fork of Long Island. The Matchless Mine of Horace and Elizabeth McCourt “Baby Doe” Tabor, which is located on the outskirts of Leadville and can still be toured today, inspired Cutchogue composer Douglas Moore’s opera “The Ballad of Baby Doe.”
