Lenado, Colorado, elevation , is a
ghost town in
Pitkin County, Colorado near
Woody Creek along Woody Creek Road. Its main period of activity was in the late 19th century, due to the local
lead and
zinc deposits, during which time it was home to ca. 300 people. Following a slump in lead prices, the town became abandoned soon later, notwithstanding a brief surge in activity after 1917 due to a zinc shortage brought on by the
First World War.
