The Mineral Belt Trail is an 11.7 mile paved path around the mining town of Leadville. Bikers, runners, walkers, dogs, and rollerbladers are welcome to use the trail in the dry months, and the loop is groomed during the winter for cross country skiing, fat biking, and snowshoeing.

There are educational and informational signs placed sporadically along the trail; the path travels through areas rich in mining history as well as pine forests and aspen groves.

Starting here at the base of Dutch Henry Hill is the lowest point on the MBT and is a good starting point (even for out and backs) because you can finish downhill.
