Explore Breckenridge’s extensive trail system

Craft a beautiful balance of action, relaxation and indulgence. Begin the morning with a cool, sun-drenched road or mountain bike ride. Biking in Breckenridge is a way of life and a welcoming sport to anyone with the motivation to see more and stay fit. Rent cruiser bikes and breeze along the riverside rec path or grab the latest lightweight mountain bike models and tackle a wooded intermediate trail. Take a guided fat bike tour with Breck-based outfitter Ridden or skip the ride and explore Broken Compass Brewery and Breckenridge Distillery on Airport Road.

Cherry-pick from hundreds of local trails and set out on a special waterfall or wildflower hike. Popular scenic hikes include Mohawk Lakes, McCullough Gulch and the Wheeler Trail. Have an adrenaline-thirsty crew? Go whitewater rafting or hit the ziplines and rock-climbing walls at Breckenridge Resort’s Epic Discovery.

For something a little more laid back, immerse yourselves in the incredible summer landscape with a fly fishing lesson or spend a morning playing the world-renowned Breckenridge Golf Course. Tip: Balls fly farther at 9,000 feet!

Art & Shopping

Art and shopping in Breckenridge

Breckenridge has over 200 shops and boutiques to explore.

Walking Main Street and popping in and out of upscale boutiques, art galleries, toy and candy shops, T-shirt and book stores is a Breckenridge pastime that deserves an entire afternoon or evening. There are more than 200 stores to explore. See what grabs your eye and be sure to take an ice cream or coffee break to sit by the river in the middle of town and soak up million-dollar views.

Shop locally crafted gear and goods and head over to the Breckenridge Arts District for the latest artist-made jewelry, ceramics and more. Sign your group up for an oil painting, woodworking or metalsmithing workshop.

 

Wine & Dine

Ease into the evening with a wine tasting at Carboy Winery, Ridge Street Wine or Continental Divide Winery where you can create your own blend and bottle and label it for a memorable keepsake. Discover some of Breck’s famous patios and decks where jaw-dropping vistas meet insanely good happy hours.

When it’s time for a multicourse splurge-worthy dinner, Breckenridge’s dining scene is better than ever. A recent culinary renaissance has brought upscale steakhouses, contemporary American and Mexican, Colorado comfort food and high-end sushi next level. And on the nights when all you want is nachos, pizza and beer, we have that dialed in, too.

Nightlife is always buzzing around Breck. Bounce from brewery and distillery scenes to pubs and old-time saloons. See live music, play trivia and pool, sip absinthe or catch a show at the Backstage Theatre.

Rowdier ambiances await at the Gold Pan, Motherloaded, Burke and Riley’s, Napper Tandy’s and Rita’s. Bachelorette parties: End the night playing pool at Brooklyn’s or dance the night away on Breckenridge’s largest dance floor (don’t miss the infamous dance pole) at Cecelia’s.

Looking for more action-packed settings for a ladies’ night out? We have some ideas.
