Family Friendly Trails

The Rec Path
The Summit County Recreational Pathway System (or just “Rec Path,” as we call it in town) is a paved, multi-use path that follows the Blue River as it flows through Breckenridge and beyond. Open to bikers, runners, dog walkers, and everyone in-between, the Rec Path is perfect if you’re looking for an easy ride.

Tiger Road
A great option for a family bike ride, this out-and-back dirt road is 6.5 miles and a pretty smooth ride with an elevation gain of only 170 feet.

B&B Trail
With an elevation gain of 300 feet, B&B Trail is a bit more challenging than Tiger Road, but not by much. The B&B Trail is an easy 2.4 mile loop that is perfect for kids. With other trails connecting to the B&B, you to make this ride as long or short as you would like!

Intermediate Trails

Boreas Pass Road
This is a great road that climbs to the Continental Divide at Boreas Pass. From the pass, you will be able to see the whole town of Breckenridge. The ride is 12.5 miles there-and-back. If you would like to make the ride shorter, it is very easy to turn around on the pass.

Classic Breckenridge Route
Some of the best singletrack Breck has to offer, this 12.1 mile loop that can be ridden from here in town. You can also lengthen your ride by incorporating any of a myriad of adjacent trails into the loop.

Swinger
A 4 mile downhill singletrack, Swinger is a ton of fun and often considered the best of the Peak 8 trails. The trail runs from the chair lift at the base of Peak 8 down to Breckenridge Ski Resort.

Challenging Trails

West Jefferson Trail
A difficult 4.9 miles singletrack, you’ll descend through high alpine terrain before you hit some tight switchbacks in the trees. Then follow Jefferson Creek until you get the the campground and the intersection with the Colorado Trail.

Copper Mountain to Searle Pass
This 19.3 mile out-and-back includes several fun bridge crossings and creek crossings before a very continuous but manageable climb through treeline up to a breathtaking alpine view at the base of Elk mountain.

Dirty Copper Triangle
The Dirty Copper Triangle (aka Copper Three Pass) is a 32.3 mile loop that traverses three high alpine passes: Searl Pass, Kokomo Pass, and Ptarmigan Pass. While the views are incredible, just remember that each pass tops out around 12,000 feet and the air gets very thin.

Breckenridge Ski Resort

Peak 8 BreckConnect Gondola
During the summer months, Breckenridge Ski Resort offers the opportunity to hit the mountain without having to huff and puff your way to the top. Riding the BreckConnect Gondola to the top of Peak 8 is free without a bike, but you’ll need to purchase a lift ticket if you want to bring your bike for a ride down. Lift tickets can be purchased as day passes or single rides.

Peak 8 offers many great downhill trails for intermediate and skilled riders and is one of the most popular biking destinations in Breckenridge, but before you head out, we recommend checking the website for the latest updates and to purchase a ticket.
