Once a mountain mining town decimated and nearly destroyed by river dredging, the surprisingly versatile Breckenridge has bounced back over the last century to become one of Colorado's top year round alpine getaways, with all-seasons activities galore. Restoration of the river area has led to the creation of pristine hiking trails and greenery in the summer months, but winter is the real draw. Skiers flock to the groomed slopes, chutes and bowls of Breckenridge Ski Resort by the million.

This is an amazing hike. Not for beginners or small children. It took us about 3 hours to the top. It’s very steep at the top and rocky but well worth the views. Absolutely beautiful. Take water and a few snacks and of course a camera!!!!!!!!! You won’t be disappointed.

Après is a publick house in Breckenridge, CO that offers 70+ rotating craft beers, small batch whiskey, craft spirits & handcrafted cocktails!
10/10 would recommend Apres for cocktails, beers, and board games. The bartenders know what they’re doing and the vibe never disappoints. Their hot toddy is my go-to, but the beer selection is also ????????. If you’re visiting town this stop is a MUST.

Pretty straightforward hike with beautiful waterfalls, lakes and above tree line views. About 6 miles round trip from the lower trailhead parking area where you can take the road or catch Spruce Creek Trail through the pines. Suggest you bring a lunch or snacks and plenty of water or a water filter. Trekking poles will help to make your way through some of the rock areas, but are not required. We took about 4.5 hours, taking our time, sitting up above the upper lake to enjoy lunch with a view. Morning hours are best to avoid the afternoon storms.

The Cheese Shop of Breckenridge is a full-service cut to order gourmet cheese shop. We have the best selection of cheese and cured meats in the high mountains of Colorado. We also have an extensive panty stocked with gourmet goodies to help you and your family make memories in the mountains.
We came to Breckenridge two years ago and there were two places we said we would go back to on this visit. The first on our list was the Cheese Shop of Breckenridge. Privately owned by a young couple that are so happy to serve you and let you sample the cheeses before you purchase. It is small businesses like this one that we LOVE to support in anyway we can. It is simple, a trip to Breckenridge without a stop here for some amazing cheese, sausage and sandwiches wouldn’t be complete. You MUST stop by, enjoy and support this wonderful place. I didn’t get any pictures but it is easy to find. It is located right off main street in a small shopping mall. Located just across from the Continental Divide Winery, the other place we had to go to! Stop and enjoy.

This Overlook is just a few miles north of Breckenridge - easy to get to. The overlook has amazing views of Lake Dillon. There is a wonderful loop trail that the overlook is on. You can head left or right from the parking lot and you will come to the overlook shortly. Easy hike for people - saw families picnicking as well on the picnic tables at the eastern side of the loop trail.

Kids will love this trail with all different types of fairy homes. The trail is short and a little steep for some but worth the walk

This trail had everything for us (we are not super hikers). You get to walk here from downtown quite easily (no car hassles). You begin up and underneath the ski lift and then enter a wonderful section alongside a bustling little river. You pass over a few fairly new wood bridges and eventually come up to the Sawmill Reservoir (we would pack out lunch and have a picnic along the way or at the reservoir). A true gem!
