As always, Breckenridge stands behind the Colorado Tourism Office’s Leave No Trace – Care for Colorado Principles to help maintain the natural beauty of our trails and forests.
Road Biking
Breckenridge is a road biking mecca in the summertime, as bicyclists from all over Colorado and beyond travel to our mountain town to experience the miles of roads and breathtaking views of the Mosquito and Tenmile Range.
In 2011, the Pro Cycling Challenge laid out its inaugural course throughout Colorado. Breckenridge placed its historical stamp on the stage 5 finish with racers jetting like bolts of lightening up the closed Highway 9 to the Main Street sprint finish and the screaming fans. Ever since, Breckenridge’s leg crushing climbs, including the notorious Moonstone climb — and the subsequent thrilling descents down have been the talk of the professional road biking community. However, road bikers of all abilities will enjoy Breckenridge’s breathtaking views and variety of terrain and technical challenges.
Biking the Recreational Path
The Blue River paved recreation path offers seemingly endless Rocky Mountain scenery. Riders will love the miles and miles of the paved, mild path that follows the Blue River through town limits and beyond to the rest of Summit County. The Rec Path sits in the shadow of the Ten Mile Range and is open to runners, hikers, dog walkers and bikers of all type. It’s the perfect route for a family cruise.
