Breckenridge: Mountain Biking Trails for All

By Monique Mertrandes

The biking trails in Breckenridge offer visitors a closer look at the dazzling view, whether they are taking the easy, difficult, long or short trails. And since there are lots of Breckenridge rentals options for bikes, mountain biking has become very popular in Breckenridge.

Thrills of Biking Breck: Mountain biking in Breckenridge begins in spring as bikers are drawn to the trails by the irresistible attraction of colorful scenery. Whatever your kind of trail is, the beauty is there. As spring becomes summer, the spectacular panorama of the mountain continues and mild temperatures continue their irresistible calls for bikers to the trails. Then, the arrival of fall in Colorado brings the unmistakable charm of the glistening yellow foliage of the aspen beautifully contrasting with its white bark.

Totally Friendly Biking: The wide range of terrain and trails is another major attraction why bikers find their way to Breckenridge. Extreme bikers can get as much challenge as the novice or group riders. For example, taking the Boreas Pass, an undemanding trail that is suitable for biking groups or families, brings bikers to a relaxed and educational trip. Along the way, bikers can stop by and examine the old water tanks or the old rail beds which are part of the historical remains of Breckenridge. Possibly, a trouble-free way to reach Boreas Pass is to leave everything except your bike by the Breckenridge Ice Rink, then embark on the climb to Boreas Pass Road, a wide path that takes riders all the way through the stunning aspen groves.

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.
