5 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Breckenridge That You Shouldn't Miss
Once a mountain mining town decimated and nearly destroyed by river dredging, the surprisingly versatile Breckenridge has bounced back over the last century to become one of Colorado's top year round alpine getaways, with all-seasons activities galore. Restoration of the river area has led to the creation of pristine hiking trails and greenery in the summer months, but winter is the real draw. Skiers flock to the groomed slopes, chutes and bowls of Breckenridge Ski Resort by the million.

This Overlook is just a few miles north of Breckenridge - easy to get to. The overlook has amazing views of Lake Dillon. There is a wonderful loop trail that the overlook is on. You can head left or right from the parking lot and you will come to the overlook shortly. Easy hike for people - saw families picnicking as well on the picnic tables at the eastern side of the loop trail.

Everything was decorated beautifully for Christmas. The shop workers are friendly and helpful. Cute shops, good food and the cutest, quaintest atmosphere. There are only like 2 places to use the bathroom on the entire street, one being at the Welcome Center. And Breck is "bagless" so go prepared with your own bag or be prepared to pay $0.10 for a bag. Just don't drive to Main St. Parking is limited and traffic is plentiful. Walk, take the bus or ride the trolley. Uber is totally unreliable in this town! Lack of drivers and frequent rate surges due to demand made Uber unreliable.

I should have gone here on the very first day. I was really suffering with ALL of the symptoms of altitude sickness. Major headache, shortness of breath, zero appetite, lethargic, a little nausea. My health isn't great to start with so the altitude seemed to make my pain worse as well. I went in and started with the 15 minute session, and increased to 30 minutes ($20). They have a variety of drinks both hot and cold, tv, tons of magazines, internet and printing. I felt relief from the headache after the 330 minutes and hoped I had surpassed the hurdle for the week long stay. I decided to get the mid sized can of inhaling oxygen thinking it would save me from more trouble. I used the can a good bit but it just isn't as strong as in the bar with the nasal tubes. I felt better and was actually hungry the next day after going, but I started back down hill with the symptoms shortly after. I really wish I had headed right back in there instead of trying the self use canister. In my case, I think I should have gone every day for at least 15 minutes. I have severe spinal stenosis and 3 degenerated discs in my neck. I think my pain was exascerbated tremendously by the altitude. The oxygen helped. The fella working was great, friendly, checked on you, really explained things and had great knowledge. I highly reccomend rushing right over and spending as much time as it takes to feel better. The prices are reasonable. Don't let yourself feel bad and ruin your trip.

You can easily access this on a dry day with any car, but I would not take a 2wd car up here if the roads are wet. It is a gentle climb the entire way because the road was built on an old railroad grade. If you go by bike, you can descend the Baker's Tank Trail back to the parking lot, or link it up with Aspen Alley to ride to town. Watch for bikes and hikers on the road.
