Thanks for all the recs! Breck was awesome last week with the snow and cold weather, such a break from the sauna soup here in Houston. Kiddos had a blast. Was too cold to do a lot of the outdoor activities above.
Will add a few recs:
Restaurants: Aurum, Kenosha Breck, Breckenridge Distillery, Blue River Bistro, Daylight Donuts (great breakfast, more than donuts), Briar Rose steakhouse, Lost Cajun, Canteen, Bagali's, Pho on Main, MountainTop Cookie, Stir Pan Creamery
Activities
- Walk the main street and towns of Breck and Frisco.
- take gondola up to ski area, ride alpine slide
- Breckenridge Stables for horseback ride in mountains, wife and 3yr old loved it
- Highline railroad park, neat old trains and playground
- Drove Boreas Pass rd to Como, great mountain pass dirt road, especially in the snow. Made a loop from Breckenridge east to Como, SW to Fairplay on 285, N to Breck on 9.
- Sapphire Point overlook at Dillon reservoir
- Drive from Keystone east on 5 to Montezuma
- Troll hike (for kids) by ice arena
- recommend drive back to Denver on 285 versus I-70 if you have time. Beautiful road.
