HIKING/BIKING
- Perimeter Trail around Lake Dillon (ranging from 1-5 miles depending on which path you take, it's all flat too)
- Boreas Pass loop for the best views of Breckenridge (about 4-5 miles, also flat but up at higher elevation)
- The Peaks Trail from Breckenridge to Frisco or vice versa. (about 10 miles relatively flat)
- Mount Royal Trail in Frisco (good for incline practice. About 5 miles)
- Sapphire Point - a very cute lookout of Lake Dillon and the mountains- not even a half a mile. (great for photo-ops without the big hike.)
- Loveland Pass- Worth the drive! It's where we got engaged. There's a very easy and short lookout view you can walk up to. The trail we got engaged on is called "Cupid's Peak."
- Mohawk Lakes in Breckenridge- 7-12 miles depending on the hike you choose. Definitely for intermediate to experienced hikers.
- Probably a bit too snowy for this around our wedding, but we have three fourteeners in county! Quandary, Greys, & Torres. For experienced hikers.
- Breckenridge to Frisco bike path
- Lake Dillon bike path
WATER
- Paddleboarding, riding a pontoon, or renting a sail boat on Lake Dillon
ROAD TRIPS
- If you have time, we highly recommend a day trip to either Buena Vista/Salida for rafting, or FairPlay to visit "South Park." Leadville is also a fun little excursion and only 30 minutes away. There's a great hike there called Mayflower Gulch.
- For those wanting a longer road trip- we couldn't recommend the Million Dollar Highway through the San Juan mountain range more! Head from Breckenridge towards Ouray to Silverton, visiting Telluride along the way too. You can add an addition to your loop and visit Durango as well.
