STOP #5 - Get Outdoors Leadville (GOL) Gear Library
STOP #6 - Trails on campus
As part of the 300 acres that make up our beautiful campus, we have over 6.5 miles of single track trails for everyone to enjoy.
You can run, bike or take a nice walk in the woods. Just be aware you may “run” into our cross-country running team training all year round.
In the winter, some of the trails are groomed for fat bikes and others for cross-country skiing.
When you need a break for your studies, frisbee/disc golf is a great way to get outdoors and enjoy some exercise. We have a full 18 hole course, but be prepared to do a little hiking between the holes.
STOP #7 - Mountain View Residence Hall
As part of the Ski Area Operations program, students have the opportunity to take a class on designing and building a terrain park.
The backyard park is behind the residence hall and is available for students to use at their own risk, unless, of course, students are working on it or it is posted as closed.
STOP #8 - Coronado Café (Dining Hall)
STOP #9 - Crown Point
