Celebrate summer in Breckenridge

ward to exploring when ever we
come up because we always have
something we have not tried.”
On her list, a recent visit was
the Country Boy Mine. Even locals
think this venture 1,000 vertical
feet down into the original work-
ings of the mine is an ethere-
al experience. The Breckenridge
Recreation Center, with a full car-
Breckenridge bike path
dio/weight center, a great kid's
pool, and the Stephen West Ice
Arena, are other locals favorites ,
but save them for nighttime as you
do not want to waste the beauti-
ful sunlit afternoons being inside.
Breckenridge in the summer is all
about the spectacular views. See
it via a drive up to Boreas Pass,
whitewater rafting, horseback rid-
ing , golfing, kayaking or hiking.
If you can imagine it, you can do
it here.
Worth checking out is the
Breckenridge Fun Park, an on-
mountain adventureland. It includes
an alpine slide, miles of mountain
biking trails accessible via chairlift,
the Colorado SuperChair Scenic
Lift Rides & Hiking (with access to
hiking and picturesque views of the
Continental Divide), a huge maze, a
climbing wall, a sky trampoline, a
bounce house and a local's favorite

samples of tourmaline, copper and

bloodstone to be found. Half-day
passes for all activities start at $50,
full-day passes are $65. Most fami-
lies seem to buy individual activ-
ity passes. Remember the trick to
enjoying your staycation here is to
pace yourself. A couple of hours on
the mountain seems to work best
for most families with small chil-
dren and you can come back the
next day to do what you missed.
