What to do and see in Breckenridge, Colorado (CO): The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers

September 20, 2021 Lean Nau

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.

Such a convenient way of dealing with ski/board rentals. We booked before trip. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, they come to your lodging with a selection of equipment at a pre set time. Any issues with equipment are dealt with quickly. Returns are just as easy. Equipment better than most of the rental set ups around town. Have used them 4 times now - never fail to impress.

Quandary Peak

Reviewed By bethk708 - Grapevine, United States

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.

Vail Pass Path

Reviewed By GoPlaces789170 - Texas Gulf Coast, United States

This is one of our favorite bike rides. A number of bike rental companies will haul you and your bike to the top of Vail Pass free with the rental of a bike. I've only done the ride from Vail Pass into Frisco, where the ride is mostly downhill. It takes you past Copper Mountain (you can stop and ride the chair lift to the top for great views!) and into Frisco -- a great place to stop for lunch (many wonderful shops and restaurants along Main Street). If you have the bike for the day, you can ride on trails around Lake Dillon. As an option, you can also go down on the other side of Vail Pass into Vail and on to Lionshead. If you're doing more than just riding from Vail back to return your bike, be sure to get a lock for your bike(s). Most places will include it in the rental.

Mountain Wave

Reviewed By vthokies24 - Manhattan Beach, United States

Was about to hit the slopes for the first time this season and realized I forgot to replace a binding strap I lost at the end of last season. Took my board to Mountain Wave and as soon as I walked in, the staff was willing to see what they could do to get me on the mountain. John Platt (JP), literally made me a new binding strap from a bunch of scraps. He was so diligent and focused on setting me up that he had to sand some things down and built me what is probably a better strap than the original one. The Manager, Ryan, came in and made sure the board was solid, as well. Together, they were so adamant on ensuring the strap stayed put. They weren’t satisfied so rebuilt it a 2nd time to make it even stronger. These guys literally made my day - with their amazingly cool energy and getting me on the slopes for the day and setting me up for the rest of the season. I will never go to another board shop again when I am in town - thanks again guys!

Mohawk Lake Trail

Reviewed By mitchellm915

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.
