    Hiking

    This spot on the Colorado Trail offers an excellent overlook of Climax Molybdenum Mine and Copper Ski Area. The mine is located south down highway 91 towards Leadville. Copper Ski area is one of Colorado's larger ski resorts during the winter months, but the Colorado Trail cuts right through the property on its way towards the Sawatch Mountain Range during the dry season.
