The sun really hits this hillside. That makes hiking Tenderfoot Trail in Dillon a great early season hike when other trails are still snowpacked. It’s also a good early morning hike before the heat of the day. It’s a moderate hike that takes just a couple of hours. And the views are spectacular! Tenderfoot Trail […]
With so many years of hiking under our belts it is surprising to find a hike in Summit County we haven’t done yet. Fredonia Gulch is that hike. It is in Blue River, just south of Breckenridge off County Road 600. It is a road hike, which probably explains why we haven’t done it. We […]
This hike, just outside of Silverthorne, starts at the Rock Creek Trailhead along with the Boulder Lake and Boss Mine Trails. For whatever reason, the Kettle Ponds hike is one we don’t seem to do as often as Boulder Lake so it had been a few years since we headed out on this trail. On […]
We headed up Boreas Road to the top of Boreas Pass for this hike. The road to Boreas Pass is a fantastic place to see the fall colors. One section of the road goes through an aspen grove. If you time it right it’s absolutely gorgeous. The leaves are changing a little later this year […]
September is the time of year when we start to get the crisp morning and evenings, gold aspen leaves, great daytime temps, the chatter about ski season and the Parade of Homes. It’s a fantastic time to be here! There’s no better excuse to come visit than to see the changing leaves in Summit County. […]
So finally, we made it out to see the Breckenridge Troll, Isak Heartstone. He was initially built by a commissioned artist last summer but the location was not the best. He was getting too much attention and his neighbors were unhappy about it. To keep the peace, Breckenridge had him taken apart and stored for […]
Every summer Jason & I try and hike once a week with our friends. We have found it works better for us if we plan ahead with a hiking schedule. Again this year, we are shooting for Thursday hikes. We start relatively easy and gradually get harder and steeper as the summer continues. We try […]
Here in Summit County we are still feeling the effects of the winter’s fantastic snow! The Frisco to Copper RecPath hasn’t opened yet, we are still skiing, not really hiking or biking and the water in the lake is incredibly low. Frisco to Copper RecPath The avalanches we saw over the winter were not only […]
September in Summit County is a beautiful time of year. All the leaves on the aspen trees change to a beautiful gold. Some will have a little more orange or red in them but mainly gold. Combine that with the deep, blue sky, the green, pine trees and if we are lucky, a light dusting of […]
