This dirt road is a fantastic opportunity to see what a ski resort looks like in the summer. A quick ride to the top yields amazing views of Breckenridge as well as the surrounding mountains. The road itself is dirt and gets a little narrow and gnarly towards the top, first time dirt riders could experience a little nervousness navigating a couple of the switchbacks. Overall a great ride under the chair lifts, getting to see the terrain without snow on it is very cool indeed.

Address: 511 Village Rd, Breckenridge, CO 80424, USA

Cool mountain breezes and long, sun-drenched afternoons make it easy to seek out the excitement in every day, whether you start early on the river casting dries at a particularly alluring eddy, splashing through rapids on a Class V run down the Arkansas, or you take to the singletrack on two wheels or four legs — compliments of our expert wranglers and equine guides for a real, authentic Western adventure. Of course, the journey is the sweet spot of any outing here, and it often comes with a sighting of the most social locals — the moose, elk, deer and other native wildlife who enjoy mingling with Breckenridge guests as much as the residents do (albeit from a little further away.)
