What to do and see in Breckenridge, Colorado (CO): The Best Things to do Good for Kids
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.

Such a convenient way of dealing with ski/board rentals. We booked before trip. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, they come to your lodging with a selection of equipment at a pre set time. Any issues with equipment are dealt with quickly. Returns are just as easy. Equipment better than most of the rental set ups around town. Have used them 4 times now - never fail to impress.
3. Vail Pass Path

This is one of our favorite bike rides. A number of bike rental companies will haul you and your bike to the top of Vail Pass free with the rental of a bike. I've only done the ride from Vail Pass into Frisco, where the ride is mostly downhill. It takes you past Copper Mountain (you can stop and ride the chair lift to the top for great views!) and into Frisco -- a great place to stop for lunch (many wonderful shops and restaurants along Main Street). If you have the bike for the day, you can ride on trails around Lake Dillon. As an option, you can also go down on the other side of Vail Pass into Vail and on to Lionshead. If you're doing more than just riding from Vail back to return your bike, be sure to get a lock for your bike(s). Most places will include it in the rental.

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.

We chose the Avalanche Room for a family outing (5 adults). Scott our game master was very helpful when we needed clues and was very welcoming upon entry. Some in our party had not done an escape room before and they found it fun and challenging. Absolutely worth it and each person contributes something. Definitely a don't miss adventure
7. Sawmill Creek Trail

This trail had everything for us (we are not super hikers). You get to walk here from downtown quite easily (no car hassles). You begin up and underneath the ski lift and then enter a wonderful section alongside a bustling little river. You pass over a few fairly new wood bridges and eventually come up to the Sawmill Reservoir (we would pack out lunch and have a picnic along the way or at the reservoir). A true gem!
