Sorry I don't have any pictures for this trail. I'll try to make it up there this summer and get some photos. It's a rough job, but someone's got to do it.
I would guess that this has to be one of the highest paved trails in the world, and I wouldn't doubt if it holds the altitude record for highest paved loop trail.
This trail was designated as a National Recreation Trail in 2002, and it's been providing healthy family recreation ever since. It's one of those trails that has it all: gorgeous scenery of the nearby Sawatch Mountain Range, great health benefits, historical significance, and thousands of feet of fun with an altitude.
After hitting the trail, bikers can visit numerous interesting attractions including the town of Leadville, Camp Hale, climb Mt. Elbert (the highest peak in Colorado and second highest in the continental U.S.), and tour an old hard-rock mine.
