Breckenridge and Summit County Travel Guide

Breckenridge, and its neighbors throughout Summit County, comprise a major outdoor recreation center, with skiing in winter, and fishing, hiking, and mountain biking in summer.

The town of Breckenridge (elevation 9,603 feet) is a good place to base yourself, as the entire Victorian core of this 19th-century mining town has been carefully preserved, with colorfully painted shops and restaurants occupying the old buildings, most dating from the 1880s and 1890s.
