Breckenridge day tour
Denver, Colorado
About This Activity
Enjoy a scenic journey through the Rockies on the way out to the picturesque ski village of Breckenridge. You'll first walk among giants in Red Rocks Park, then travel through the rugged Clear Creek Canyon on your way over the Continental divide. You'll visit an old western town with breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains, ski resorts, and Dillon Reservoir and then land in the Breckenridge. During your free time you can opt to take the gondola up to the base of the ski area. Return to Denver through the Eisenhower tunnel - the longest and highest passenger car tunnel in the world.
Seasonal note: Year-round — ski resort town open all year. Summer (June–Sep) for hiking and biking; winter (Nov–Apr) for skiing. I-70 mountain traffic heavy on weekends.
