Breckenridge is one of the best places to be in the fall. The leaves change color and our festivals are some of the best around. You can hoist a beer stein, mountain bike through golden aspen trees, taste some of the best wine, watch amazing indie films, or one of our favorites, visit stunning homes decorated beautifully! Make sure to dress in layers though – it can be 70 degrees and sunny, or we might get our first snowstorm of the season … you just never know. Breckenridge is a beautiful place to visit in any season, but it is especially lovely in the fall. Come and enjoy one of the 5 great experiences below!

Be sure to bring layers on any hike this fall because temperatures can rapidly drop at higher elevations. However, with the smaller crowds, you won’t mind the cooler temperatures as you’ll have plenty of space to soak in the sun and gorgeous views. (more…)

“The pride and joy of Summit County” as some call it, the Dillon Reservoir is the seventh largest body of water in the state of Colorado. Located on the north side of the Dillon Reservoir, the town of Dillon has moved numerous times since it was first established in 1859.

This man made lake provides water to hundreds of thousands of people and entertainment to Summit County residents and visitors each day. (more…)
