What travelers are saying
- TXMARTINSDenver, CO4,051 contributionsHistorical and very walkable downtown full of great shops and restaurants that you could spend countless hours exploring. Great coffee shops, parking lots and street parking abound but in peak season they can fill quickly. So many flowers everywhere in the summer and colorful buildings that pop against all the snow.Written September 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Steve P.9 contributionsThis is a great drive over to Breckenridge from Como. Very Scenic! A hidden gem if you have an SUV or Jeep. Probably could pass over with a sedan but not ideal.Written September 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PapiomaryPlattsmouth, NE220 contributionsAbsolutely beautiful! Not a long or difficult 'hike' - you'll start in one place and end right back there!

- TJMcKinney, TX4 contributionsWe have done this trip twice and it has been highlight of our vacations both times. We did this the week before Labor Day so we miss a lot of the crowds, which is really nice.
We were staying in Breckenridge and this time we decided to drive to Frisco and rent from one of the companies there. We wanted to take our time in Copper Mountain so by renting in Frisco we didn't have to rush back to catch a shuttle back to Breckenridge.
We have two girls 12 and 10 and this was not hard for them. This is a very accessible ride for all ages. The one challenge for our 10-year old was she was not used to a bike with hand brakes.
It's hard for me to do, but I recommend taking your time on the first half of the ride (up to Copper Mountain) and not to try and set any speed records. Otherwise, the trip will be over before you know it and you'll have missed a lot of great views and picture opportunities.
Copper Mountain was a lot of fun to take a break and check out all of the activities there. The conference center has a locker room with restrooms and a water filling station for your water bottles. There are lots of clean restrooms all around, but this was the only water filling station we found.
We recommend this trip to anyone who goes to the area with a few tips:
- Bring and drink water
- Pace yourself in Copper Mountain because you still have more riding to do
- Wear layers that you can take off as the day warms up or just be ok with a chill in the early part of the rideWritten September 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The views from the summit were incredible. Although pretty difficult towards the incline in my humble opinion, the rest was very manageable. Trail was also very free of trash and very well maintained. Path of trail Is clearly marked.Written July 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- rugby007Alexandria, VA370 contributionsThis area of the Breckenridge complex is best for brand-new/novice skiers and for solid Green and flat-groomed Blue skiers. It can be crowded, so be ready for some waits. The base area is well suited for rental, with a number of gear rental and retailers literally between the street and the base of the Quicksilver Super 6 chair. It can really move some people but on the weekends even this capacity is very quickly overwhelmed. If you are an experienced skier looking to get up the mountain, starting at the bottom of Peak 9 is probably not your best bet.
The Peak 9 lifts do directly service the somewhat hidden Falcon Super Chair to the top of Peak 10 and its Black-only runs down.
The Maggie is at the bottom of Peak 9, your typical ski snack bar, with overpriced and overcooked food. It's spacious, but fills up very quickly at lunchtime.
I found the staff support at the bottom of Peak 9 to be quite good, with very engaging and helpful folks at all stations. I arranged lessons for a couple in my party and liked all of the instructors.Written February 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- elchacoHouston, TX1,037 contributionsIt's a very short walk to get to the troll. We really enjoyed the snow covered trees and troll. We got some pictures and then walked the other trail as you exit back to the parking lot.Written January 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MPAOBoulder, CO11 contributionsA great little trail just outside of Breckinridge. Reaching the lower lake took us up close to 1500 ft of ascent. The trail can get a little twisty and hard to follow at times, but with a steady trickle of other hikers, we found our way. The alpine lake is stunning and you get a lovely waterfall on the way as well. Take it all in and enjoy the crisp air and views as you move higher and higher.Written August 8, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Matthew JSan Francisco, CA2 contributionsNeat little park to wander around and get some history on Breckenridge. Also close to the ice rink and the Breckenridge Troll, so nice to be able to park and do a few things without having to drive.Written December 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- momto3longislandSouth Farmingdale, NY229 contributionsVery pretty walk with shops and restaurants nearby. Lots of little stone bridges to walk over. Parking price is very reasonable. Love the Breckinridge area.Written June 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ryan YCrystal Lake, IL, United States4 contributionsWe stopped in the O2 Lounge on a whim while visiting Breckenridge and were very pleased. Guy, our affable and engaging host, talked us through the benefits of the Lounge's 90% oxygen and how thier delivery system worked. A little fatigued from our morning hike and walking in the thin 9,600 foot air, we oppted for the 15 minute session. It was great and we felt better for the remainder of out stay in Breck. If we visit Breck again, we will be sure to stop in the 02 Lounge early in our stay.Written July 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JoyMinneapolis, MN47 contributionsFun for the kids to find gold. Both found a little and thought they were millionaires. Requires a bit of focus to sift through the pans but interesting adventure.Written September 10, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- scottfromerieErie, CO311 contributionsMy family and I went on this hike today. We have two kids, 14 and 12, and they could handle the hike with no problems. When you start off at the trailhead, it is a pretty steep incline for about a mile or so. Obviously, when you are hiking in the mountains you need to bring water and this hike is no exception. The first mile goes up a winding trail mostly in the shade of lodge pole pine trees. Once the trail ends, it opens up to a dirt road. You will have a 2 mile walk back downhill to the trailhead and parking lot. This part of the hike has great views of Breckenridge.
We started this hike right at noon and nobody else was on the hike which is perfect for distancing yourselves from other during the pandemic.
Bring a camera to take pictures.Written May 30, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This one is very imaginative -- he has his hand around a tree. There's a nice wooden walking path in and out, so anyone can get there.Written September 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
