6 days in Breckenridge Itinerary

Founded in 1859 as part of the Gold Rush in the Rockies, Breckenridge boasts a main street lined with colorful wooden storefronts housing cafes and shops, giving the effect of a thriving western town from the 19th century.

Get in touch with nature at River Rafting & Tubing and McCullough Gulch. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Booth Falls Trail and Rainbow Lake. Explore Breckenridge's surroundings by going to Vail Recreation Path (in Vail) and Lily Pad Lake (in Silverthorne). There's lots more to do: hike along Spruce Creek Trail, go for a walk through Mohawk Lake Trail, get outside with Quandary Peak, and grab your bike and head to Peaks Trail.
