Breckenridge: Mountain Biking Trails for All

By Monique Mertrandes

Mountain biking has become one of the most popular activities in Breckenridge because the place offers the right trail for you - whether you want it easy, difficult or in between. Do not be concerned about the bike because you can choose from a wide range of rental options. Bikers also get to reach the beautiful but distant places in Breckenridge.

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.

Friendly Biking for Everyone: Groups and individual bikers alike find the appropriate trails and terrain for their varying skills in Breckenridge. So, whether you are an extreme or novice biker, there is always a trail for you. Then, there is Boreas Pass, an easy to average track that can be negotiated in a day. The trip can also be educational if the bikers choose to stop by the historical relics of Breckenridge. Perhaps, a straightforward way to get through to Boreas Pass is from the Breckenridge Ice Rink where you can set out to climb Boreas Pass Road, an open route that will let riders experience the shimmering beauty of the aspen groves as well as other destinations that are so beautiful and peaceful since few visitors have the physical stamina to venture into the place.

Benefit from your pain: Bikers who want to experience the challenges of elevated trails will not be disappointed in Breckenridge. One challenge would be the eleven-mile ride to the summit of Hoosier Pass which is at the south end of Breckenridge. Bikers have the additional challenge of riding through the ups and downs of switchbacks with motorists. However, the hardship is lessened by the spectacular view along the way and the thought of conquering a spot 11,000 feet above sea level. It is clear that the twin difficulties brought by the hazards of riding with motorists and the abrupt elevation gain to Hossier Pass should only be attempted by experienced and physically qualified bikers.

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.
