40 days in Breckenridge Itinerary

Founded in 1859 as part of the Gold Rush in the Rockies, Breckenridge boasts a main street lined with colorful wooden storefronts housing cafes and shops, giving the effect of a thriving western town from the 19th century.

Kids will appreciate attractions like Thermal Spas and Capital Prize Gold Mine Tour. Venture out of the city with trips to Lake Isabelle (in Ward), Leadville (Leadville National Fish Hatchery, Ski Cooper, &more) and Anne U. White trail (in Boulder). And it doesn't end there: don't miss a visit to Independence Pass, catch some excitement at Carousel of Happiness, examine the collection at Argo Mill and Tunnel, and take a memorable drive along Guanella Pass.
