Destination guide

You'll strike gold and good times in Breckenridge

There's gold in them thar hills! At least there was during the gold rush of the 1850s, when miners found riches in the small mountain town of Breckenridge. Nestled at the base of the Rocky Mountains, the town is more famous nowadays for its massive resort, where year-round activities include skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking and hiking. If you're not much of a thrill seeker, then you could relax in your Breckenridge vacation rental before taking a leisurely stroll down Main Street, a charming thoroughfare lined with colourful Victorian buildings and log cabins from the late 1800s, now filled with boutique shops, galleries, restaurants and spas.

Things to do

Choo-choos and children's museums: family fun awaits

Still don't have your fill of the great outdoors? Carter Park provides a host of amenities, including sports fields, picnic shelters and a sledding hill, while High Line Railroad Park is home to an antique locomotive. Soak up the mountain views while working on your swing at Breckenridge Golf Club, a breathtakingly beautiful 27-hole course. If you have little ones staying in your Breckenridge vacation rental, consider a trip to the Mountain Top Children's Museum, where tots can play dress up and enjoy hands-on exhibits. For even more fun, take the family skating at the Stephen C. West Ice Arena.

Natural highlights

Wild times – when wetlands and wildflowers thrive

Towering nearly 4,000 metres, Breckenridge Mountain dominates the landscape, as it serves as the dramatic backdrop to the small mining town. The snow-capped peaks are only interrupted by man-made ski trails and dense alpine forests. In the spring, once the snow melts, the mountain is covered in colourful wildflowers. On a warm summer day, cast a line in the Blue River and relax as you wait for the salmon and trout to bite. The nearby Cucumber Gulch Wildlife Preserve offers wetlands teeming with wildlife, including moose, elk, deer, mountain lion, beaver and nearly 50 species of birds.
