July and August typically top the charts as the warmest months of the year in Breckenridge at around 70 degrees on average. That also means it’s the perfect time to log some solid hours outdoor on the trails or on some of Breckenridge’s best patios and decks. Combine that with our dry climate, and you won’t have to worrying about overheating during your favorite summer activities. But be careful, our dryness and strong sun means hydrating and sun protection is a must. Similar to July, you can expect quick afternoon thunderstorms, so be sure to start hiking and biking early in the day, keep an eye on the weather, and always pack extra layers.
Breckenridge is nestled at a comfortable 9,500 feet of elevation. Try to pregame your trip West with a baby aspirin once a day and plenty of water!! This weekend is more like a marathon than a sprint, please do not have too many cold snacks on night one and be hurting the rest of the trip. If you are concerned about the elevation, there is an oxygen and IV bar in town. I will be going on Friday afternoon for a nice liquid treatment drip before our welcome party. Symptoms usually come on within 12 to 24 hours of reaching a higher elevation and then get better within a day or two as your body adjusts to the change in altitude.
