Breckenridge: Mountain Biking Trails for All

By Monique Mertrandes

Mountain biking is very popular in Breckenridge. It is a natural consequence of the presence of various kinds of trails that brings the bikers closer to the stunning views of the mountains. And finding a bike is not a problem - there are a lot of hassle-free rental options.

Gains of Biking Breck: The biking season begins in spring, when the bikers can have their fill of colors wherever they look, as flowers start to bloom and the aspen leaves start budding. When summer comes, mild temperatures and the spectacular view of the mountain continue to create the ideal environment for a full day of biking. Lastly, fall brings its unique charm as the colorful aspen trees turn shimmering yellow to confirm that it is truly fall in Colorado.

Group Friendly Biking: The array of terrain and trails is another major reason to go biking in Breckenridge. Whether you are an extreme biker, a novice or part of a group, you will find your kind of trail. For instance, Boreas Pass is considered a simple to moderate route that is family friendly and can be finished in a day trip. Along the way, riders enjoy not only the scenic views but also educational detours to the historical relics of Breckenridge such as the old water tanks and rail beds. The simplest way to get to Boreas Pass is to begin at Breckenridge Ice Rink, then climb Boreas Pass Road, which is a broad route that leads riders within the aspen groves, an exhilarating experience especially from early to middle part of fall.

Gain from Your Pain: For bikers who want to ride to elevated trails, Breckenridge can provide those for them. They can try riding eleven miles to the highest part of Hoosier Pass, which is at the southern end of Breckenridge. The experience is a thrill for riders with the stamina to face the challenge. Bikers have the added thrill of sharing switchbacks with motorists as they persevere to reach the top which is over 11,000 feet above sea level. Along the way, the biker is rewarded by the exceptional view and the thought of conquering the top. No doubt, the combined difficulties from biking with motorists and the sharp elevation gain to Hossier Pass are challenges that only experienced bikers should attempt to try.

Mountain Biking: Perhaps, there is no other vehicle that would be better than the bike to reach the best parts of Breckenridge Ski Resort. Advance to Peak 9 and then Beaver Run Resort on the way to spotless Burro Trail that opens the way to the other beautiful things in Breck. From Burro Trail, you can connect to Spruce Creek Road, which is a good location to go down from the mountains or proceed to McCullough Gulch. A bike certainly brings visitors to 'hidden" destinations that less adventurous visitors will miss.

Borrowing is Allowed: Going to Breckenridge can be trouble-free. Travelers need not worry about excess baggage since equipment like mountain bikes and their accessories needed for going to the trails are available at the Breckenridge rental shops. And one can rely on the options offered by Breckenridge rentals to find the right vacation homes, condos or townhomes. Visitors can instead spend more time on the trails or at any desired destination.

Mountain biking is more fun and exciting in Breckenridge. So, get on your bike and discover more fantastic places in Breckenridge.
