Since
the 1800s, Breckenridge has been the place
to be in the Rocky Mountains. Centuries ago, miners were seeking
to hit it rich in the promising Colorado mountains. These days
adventure-seekers and family vacationers visit Breckenridge because
of all that it offers. This charming mountain town is friendly
and full of life and you'll find plenty of activities to keep
you busy. Hiking, mountain biking, river rafting, kayaking, camping,
fly fishing and horseback riding are just a few examples.
Breckenridge
Trail Ride:
Kingdom of Breckenridge Stables offers you a unique opportunity to
explore the spectacular mountains while you enjoy a leisurely ride
on horseback. U.S. Forest Service and the Breckenridge Ski Resort
have dedicated "The Breckenridge Trail" to Breckenridge
Stables.
This
trail takes you high into the mountains to an elevation of about 10,000
feet. You'll have a bird's eye view of the city of Breckenridge, nestled
far below in the mountain valley. The winding trail is thickly forested
and you'll cross lively mountain streams as you ride to the summit.
Wild flowers bloom in the open meadows and the sky is bluer and the
air fresher than you can imagine. If you enjoy the great outdoors,
you'll savor this exciting experience with superb views of some of
the most spectacular scenery in Colorado.
The
Breckenridge Trail ride starts at 9:30 with departures every 30 minutes
and takes approximately 90 minutes. Sure-footed horses and experienced
guides ensure a safe and enjoyable riding experience.
