Fall Hiking Near Breckenridge – Photos and Videos Posted on October 26, 2020 - 5:08 pm by Stacy Sanchez It’s been a super busy summer for Breckenridge Real Estate, but we did find a bit of time to take clients to some of our favorites, which you can see in videos in this post titled Fall Hiking Near Breckenridge. There are many places to see the trees change colors, and once they’re finished up high near Breck, you can travel around the state for an additional few weeks to get other locations changing. We tend to change the earliest and other lower elevations take longer than we do. So, bookmark this post to revisit next summer and make a plan to travel around and see the colors.

Aspen Alley in Breckenridge Probably the most popular trail for viewing the aspen trees is the aptly named “Aspen Alley” trail in Breckenridge. A winding uphill trail will connect with Boreas Pass road, another popular spot for panoramic views of the Blue River valley while meandering through a short, yet dense tunnel of aspen. Go mid-week for less crowds on both of these trails. Folks were wearing masks too, as the trail is narrow at times. https://www.facebook.com/mountainhabitatbreckenridge/posts/2706331199625396?__cft__[0]=AZXtzBEbuB9yqWYAZ_1LP7ntkHN24Pa1TuNLbg9cNPT8-st8qFBujOJGmulPWiSy5u8sZP5rvphylaWc3p4stE_jizJkCCFT_20wLX4WcvmcYrbkUcS61BE0-ttjtoB9Drch5rqAt-BunrtoS9i5mWqXNYV8dHG2rGyJtLdOxdSsZ_rppoEE3bH1dvlEb2fxNxQ&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R https://www.facebook.com/mountainhabitatbreckenridge/posts/2710268015898381?__cft__[0]=AZV_t_7PC7c5lWWOyWEO4cqGYE5WM33ElXaq4ZVO5DMDCMCHMtJbeuhZgo6HM4FwT_sFshKV6UDGGm3sc5FZtq2WveCeGiuQUOhqlHTjhBak7f-tlgDzyCTBYniGKWSIZi4l-R35JQrbrbxAoR1aDDYiUDJLk53ZldIots-tjPMSctIq0qXku6leDr3MEe8czyaQ4L_2PFManQzwlg2QkXw1&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R https://www.facebook.com/mountainhabitatbreckenridge/posts/2707253356199847?__cft__[0]=AZW4dqfOZ6VOHL3uEIZf3XY1mx9dgoPAEHYqIPxtBHr4Q0xn1ZPwokELGcuSqBqTHYChuWPdT4EQtCdDBt5dzH-6QSrfFw_yZvGPoZ97T5_PG5VaYSGRgkSjOcZ8DgUCzZ6tz338lcPIK2UjZ_TmwfFuMi_hSVYtWSUuuk57YbuZbjM-0BRrlLYDvQHjQotIov4&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R French Gulch in Breckenridge Another popular hiking and mountain biking area in Breck are the trails in the French Gulch area. An easy way to check out the trees is to simply drive or mountain bike up the main road. Single track trails line both the north and south side of the valley for exploring. Historic signage can be found near points of interest along the way. https://www.facebook.com/mountainhabitatbreckenridge/posts/2708089696116213?__cft__[0]=AZWBrHJntTjWqTDvQELmjzjT6q4eI6yUzTzF0E_RHKU7p7xSoNdbetThpZUxJaFE4Iy60P0__M1KoPYfHjX696OBjmbHeX7yhBQ24FuEwa7hCYxhtSwPSghDPUJTS0LtdzfWlQZ0b0cB9ieltLNI2CHm95PaH1l55HsadiRsgVR2VXMWRTmo_wQLICTCdi3nuOg&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R Exploring Salida and Steamboat We really didn’t go anywhere since COVID came around, but we finally took some quick overnights around the state. One night near Salida and another night at Steamboat. We took our bikes to Salida and then soaked in the hot springs. At Steamboat we did a long hike to Fish Creek Falls. We sat outside on the large deck at Aurum and felt safe, with river views of the Yampa. We are advocates of being as safe as possible, and we do adhere to the strict mask and gloves protocols when previewing and showing properties to clients in Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Dillon, Keystone, Frisco and Silverthorne. We also work with property management companies to make sure properties aren’t occupied when scheduling showings. Please contact us to learn more about how you can invest in a remote working property that is a smart investment right now.

Summer Activities in Breckenridge, Colorado Posted on August 19, 2018 - 9:03 pm by Stacy Sanchez Summer Activities in Breckenridge, Colorado Hiking Mayflower Gulch This post is about Summer Activities in Breckenridge, Colorado. And, this is a website and blog about homes for sale and properties in Summit County. What we do is help families buy and sell, and live their dreams. If you’ve visited once, or a few times, you’ll find something new in the following list. This list comes from a dialogue from a friend who reached out with some questions about where to go and what to do. Her family owns a home locally and wanted to get some fresh ideas on how to explore the Rocky Mountains. I was happy to share what I’ve experienced over the years This post comes a bit late, but that’s because we’ve had a busy summer, so bookmark it for later. We’ve been working with clients, remodeling details, and a nights of interior design homework that now I am happy to share that Dina is now certified through the Interior Design Institute. What that means for our clients is that we can now add value to our relationship regarding the upkeep and interior aspects of the property. More about that later, for now let’s check out the list of things to do! Family-friendly Summer Bucket List Our conversation started out like this: Stacy…hope you are doing well. I am going to be out there for 3 weeks from June 30-July 23rd. I would love to meet up. Also…do you mind sending me a list of some of your favorite things to do…especially if they are some of your insider secrets;). We have done quite a few things…but I am always looking for new ideas of things to do either in Breckenridge or in summit county. What have you done that you really liked or didn’t like? Age / ability recommendations? My kids are aged 13,9 and 6:) I wrote back : “What have you done that you’d recommend for others? I might write a blog with a list of basic stuff as a starting point and we can go from there.” Her response blew me away. Her list is a classic list of things that every family should have as their own Summer Bucket List for Breckenridge. This is how she sent her reply. A numbered list. Perfect for a blog, so I just had to share. Feed the chipmunks at Sapphire Point Bike downhill from Vail pass and stop for lunch in Copper Hike the Fairy Forest and then walk around the lake / play in the teepee / then finish the hike down under the snowflake lift Tuesdays we go to Keystone for the Kid’s Discovery Days. One day in July they have a big event with ponies / bubble tub / face painters. We bring our lunch and have a picnic near the stream Peak 8 fun park Iowa Hill hike Mohawk lake hike Every event at the July 4th downtown in Breckenridge Free Gondola Rides Pizza and Video Games at Erics When my kids were younger if the weather was bad we would go the the Children’s Museum. Rainbow Park [in Frisco] with a picnic. We bring a picnic. On certain days they have this big tarp the kids can go slip and sliding down. Vail, to either the farmers market or the outdoor amphitheater. Last year we saw ET. We send our kids to camp on Wednesdays at the Breck Rec Center as they do the excursions with the kids on Wednesdays. The moms and I usually do an adult activity(go to the spa at the Grand Lodge-I think that is what is called…up near peak 7. We have also gone white water rafting and zip-lining. I have also done I think it is called the McGullough Gulch hike (I think your wife had it on a blog), as well as some hike called maybe Blue River? We have gone to the Breckenridge theater after eating happy hour at Hearthstone. We have crepes from the crepe stand…which is always a must do. Summit County Summer Bucket List When I responded, I made a bullet point list of activities for her to research and look up. There are so many blogs, articles and photos of these places online, so be sure to check out classics like the Town of Breckenridge website, Trip Advisor, Mountain Project and MTB project. Hike around Hoosier Pass Hike the Peaks Trail Hike Mayflower Gulch to the cabins Take a drive up Boreas Pass Road Hike Little Mountain near the ice rink Hike Peaks Trail from Breck to Frisco Hike around Loveland Pass Drive up to Montezuma and explore Ride the bike path around Keystone Hike to Rainbow Lake in Frisco Lily Pad Lake hike from Frisco Hike to Willow Falls in Silverthorne Hike Mt. Royal in Frisco Hike Shrine Pass on Vail Pass Glenwood Springs road trip Iron Mountain Hot Springs Salida road trip: Mt Princeton hot springs (has slides and stuff for kids) Georgetown Railroad Trip Ponds by Officer Gulch exit between Frisco and Copper Beau Jo’s pizza in Idaho Springs French Gulch trails South Park City in FairPlay Take a drive up Blue Lakes road to the end, usually mtn goats Disc Golf in Frisco Sweete’s Foote shop in Frisco for ice cream Dillon Marina Park and concerts on weekends are awesome Ten Mile Creek hike in Frisco And, to bring this mega post full circle, I received a message from my friend. It said, “Stacy…thanks so much for the suggestions. We did part of the peaks trail this morning which was fun.” For me, that makes it all worth it. I know she’ll be back to work on this list, and I hope you will too. Thanks for reading!
