1. Breckenridge to Frisco Bike Ride

First up, the legendary Breckenridge to Frisco bike ride. This is a must-do for anyone who loves the feeling of wind in their hair and bugs in their teeth (just kidding, sort of).

A 10-mile, mostly downhill ride that's as smooth as butter. You’ll cruise through stunning landscapes, past shimmering lakes, and maybe even spot a moose or two.

And hey, when you get to Frisco, you’ve earned a beer. Just remember, Base Mountain Sports has your back with the best bikes in town!

Summer in Breck is a non-stop party. We’ve got music festivals, art shows, food and wine tastings, and more. Breckenridge summer events are like the town’s way of saying, “Hey, let’s have some fun!” Be sure to check out the Breckenridge Music Festival, where you can boogey to tunes under the stars, or the Breckenridge International Festival of Arts, which is like a carnival for your eyeballs.

3. Breckenridge Farmer’s Market

From June 9th - September 8th, 2024, Sunday mornings are made for the Breckenridge Farmer’s Market at main street station from 10am - 3pm.

Plus, you can stock up on snacks for your next adventure. Win-win!

4. Hikes in Breckenridge

Let’s talk trails. Breckenridge is a hiker’s dream, with paths that range from “I just want a nice walk” to “I might need a sherpa for this.” Some of our favorite hikes in Breckenridge include the Mohawk Lakes Trail, where you’ll see alpine lakes, and the McCullough Gulch Trail, which ends at a waterfall straight out of a YouTube influencer's channel.

Don’t forget your phone for pics – or your sense of adventure. For a full list of 113 trails in Breckenridge, check out the All Trails list.

5. E-Biking in Breckenridge

Now, if you enjoy a little pedal-assist magic, e-biking in Breckenridge is where it’s at. These bad boys make hills feel like flat ground, so you will explore more without feeling like you're going to die. Trust me, it’s a game-changer. Swing by Base Mountain Sports to rent one and see for yourself.

6. Ride the Gondy

Need a breather? Hop on the BreckConnect Gondola located at 170 Watson Avenue, in Breckenridge for some of the best views in town without breaking a sweat. This scenic ride takes you straight to the top of the mountain, where the air is crisp, and the views are Instagram gold. Perfect for those days when you want to feel on top of the world – literally.

7. Epic Discovery at Breckenridge

Speaking of the top of the mountain, Epic Discovery located on Peak 8 is like a playground for grown-ups (and kids, too). Zip lines, alpine slides, adventure courses – it’s got everything to keep your adrenaline pumping. Basically summer camp for adults, and it’s awesome.

8. Rafting

Ready to get wet and wild? Hit up the nearby Blue River or Arkansas River for some rafting action. Whether you’re a whitewater junkie or just looking for a chill float, there’s a rafting trip with your name on it. Pro tip: scream like a banshee when you hit the rapids – it makes it more fun.

9. Fly Fishing

For a more zen experience, grab a rod and reel for some fly fishing. The Blue River and surrounding streams are full of trout just waiting to be caught. Even if you don’t catch anything, the peaceful surroundings and fresh mountain air are totally worth it. Plus, it’s a great excuse to wear those fancy fishing waders.

10. Golf

If you prefer your adventures a bit more...genteel, Breckenridge’s golf courses are a hole-in-one. With stunning mountain backdrops and well-maintained greens, golf in Breck is a treat. And let’s be real, any sport where you can ride around in a cart and drink beer is a win. Book your tee time at Breckenridge Golf Club here.
