The best way to enjoy Breckenridge is with your own two feet. Hit the trails to discover waterfalls, mining ruins and jaw-dropping views.

Hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails weave through and around the town of Breckenridge, but the best part is that adventure isn’t located at some far off location – it’s right outside your conference door.  Over a dozen trails are accessible from Main Street Breckenridge making it easy to fit in a hike or bike ride between sessions.  However, hitting the trails isn’t the only thing to do in Breckenridge.  Discover a list of activities your team can enjoy on Main Street as well as plenty of adventures further from town.  There are also plenty of activities to take part in when you only have an hour or two to spare between commitments.
