Colorado is the only state in the country celebrating two anniversaries at once this summer. This year, Colorado turns 150 and the country turns 250, and Leadville & Twin Lakes sit right at the heart of it all.

Once a booming center of the American West, Leadville and Twin Lakes helped shape early Colorado through mining, ambition, and larger-than-life history. Today, that story is still everywhere - on Harrison Avenue, inside historic museums, along the Route of the Silver Kings, and on the shores of Twin Lakes.

All summer and fall, 150/250 comes to life here through events like Boom Days, Leadville’s Irish Weekend, the American Discovery Trail Relay, and Charge Across Colorado.

This isn’t just history, it’s something you can walk into.

Fire restrictions are common in Leadville and Twin Lakes, and when they're in effect, a traditional campfire may not be an option.

The good news is you don't need one for a great night at camp.

We put together 7 alternatives from propane fire pits and LED campfire lanterns to portable heaters for those chilly summer evenings when temperatures drop at 10,000 feet.

Check current restrictions before your trip and plan ahead.

The landscape up here is fragile in ways that aren't always obvious.

Thin soils, short growing seasons, and high-traffic trails mean Leadville and Twin Lakes take much longer to recover from damage than areas at lower elevations. Alpine vegetation grows just inches a year, and a single shortcut can leave a scar that lasts decades.

We put together 7 specific ways you can help keep this place the way you found it, from fire safety and trail etiquette, to water protection and wildlife awareness. Read it before your next trip. leadvilletwinlakes.com/blog-7-ways-to-keep-leadville-twin-lakes-beautiful

There's a reason Halfmoon Packing & Outfitting has been taking riders into the Leadville backcountry for years.

Climb through aspen groves and pine forests past historic mine sites and old cabins, and the panoramic views from the top of Mt. Zion take in Leadville, Twin Lakes, and Turquoise Lake.

Rides range from one hour to a full day with lunch, and they offer stagecoach rides too if you've got younger kids along.

Stage 1 Fire Restrictions are in effect across all of Lake County, and we know the first question is: can I still have a campfire?

Here's the short answer. Yes, but only in a permanent, approved metal or concrete fire grate at a developed campground or recreation site. If there's a fire ring already built into the ground at your paid campsite, you're good. If you're dispersed camping, outside of a developed site, that's not allowed under Stage 1.

Gas and propane stoves are fine anywhere.

When in doubt, check conditions before you head out. Stage 1 can move to Stage 2 quickly.
