Things To Do
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
Only the greatest music venue in the country, not biased at all :) Check back as they update the concert schedule for June, or if you just want to stop to check it out! Red Rocks is just 5 minutes off of 70
St Mary's Glacier
A great spot to get out and stretch your legs on the drive from Denver to Breck! It is only about 0.75 miles to the lake, but you can hike farther if you'd like. Most of the hike in is on an incline. They do require $5 cash for parking.
Bread Bar
We LOVE this spot, their cocktails are phenomenal! This is a good stop on your drive between Denver and Breck, but they only have hours on Friday-Sunday.
Mt. Evans Scenic Byway
This road is right off of 70 on your drive in or out.. or if you want to backtrack! The byway is 28 miles long and takes about one hour. It brings you up a 14,000ft mountain, The road is $10/vehicle.
Loveland Pass
A scenic drive up a mountain pass that brings you to 11,990 feet... If you're wanting the views without the hiking effort! It is about a 40 minute drive from Breckenridge, passing Keystone and Arapahoe Basin Ski Resorts, to the summit of the pass. There's a parking lot at the top if you want to get out and snap some pics! You could also hit this road on your way to or from Denver. It is a very windy road lacking guard rails!
BreckConnect Gondola
Take a free gondola ride from town to the base of Breckenridge Ski Resort... You can grab lunch or a drink at the base of the mountain!
Mayflower Gulch Trailhead
This is one of our favorite hikes, and great for visitors! The trail head is about a 30 minute drive from Breck. The hike is a little under 3 miles round trip to the basin where the mining ruins are, but you can go further if you're feeling up to it! The hike to the mining ruins is a slow 900 ft. of elevation gain.
Hoosier Pass Loop
If you drive 15 minutes South out of Breck on Highway 9, you end up at the summit of Hoosier Pass. From here, you can park and hike a 2.8 mile loop for some high elevation views!
Blue Lakes Trailhead
A 20 minute drive South from Breck... even the parking lot is beautiful! You can just hang out right by the lake, or hike and wonder around. There is a one mile Blue Lakes Trail, or you can also access the 2.8 mile Monte Cristo Gulch Trail from this parking lot.
Mohawk Lake Trail
A bit more challenging hike, but beautiful as well! This one has two lakes, and is 6.7 miles round trip with 1,810ft elevation gain.
Quandary Peak Trailhead
If you're itching to get a 14er under your belt ;) This is a VERY challenging hike! 6.75 miles round trip with 3,450ft elevation gain. You'll need lots of water, food, and layers! Please let us know if you'd like to do this one, and we'll give you some more tips!
