Mohawk Lakes Trail | Breckenridge, Colorado | With Dog
Me and Sparky are headed up the Mohawk Lakes Trail, it also features a super big waterfall you can get up close and personal with. Me and sparky had beautiful weather for the hike.
The hike
This hike was 8.6 miles out and back rated moderate, I would say the beginning was very easy moderate, once you get up near the falls and upper lake though it switches over to more difficult.
Good thing me and sparky love difficult and challenging hikes!
This hike took us about 4-5 hours we took plenty of breaks and had an amazing time!

Gold Runner Alpine Mountain Coaster - Breckenridge, Colorado
Mountain Coaster
Source: Wikipedia
A mountain coaster or alpine coaster is a gravity driven amusement ride with bobsled-like cars on tracks installed on a mountain. It is similar to alpine slides where a low-wheeled sled is used to navigate the track but instead of running over a smooth concave tracks like the alpine slide, alpine coasters run on rails with up-stop wheels like roller coasters. Thus, alpine coasters are safer and faster than alpine slides as it prevents overturning when going too fast on a curve. Tracks are tubular rails like a steel roller coasters while some have monorail-type tracks. But unlike a roller coaster, the rider has the capability to control their speed with its rider-controlled brake system. Alpine coasters can also operate year-round even through light rain and snow.
Safety features, speed, tracks and layout vary by manufacturer. Leading makers of mountain coasters (with trade marks in parenthesis) include Wiegand (Alpine Coaster), Brandauer (Summer Toboggan), Alpine Products (Alpine Mountain Coaster), and Erbschloe Fun Construct (Rolba Bob).
The longest alpine coaster in the world is Tobotronc at Naturlandia in the tiny Principality of Andorra in the Pyrenees Mountains between France and Spain. It is 5.3 km long. The highest alpine coaster in the world is the Alpine Coaster of Glacier 3000 in Gstaad,
Switzerland with the starting elevation of 9,747 feet (2,971 m) and a length of 3,300 feet (1,000 m).
United States
Alpine Coaster at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in Glenwood Springs, Colorado was the very first alpine coaster in the United States when it opened in 2005. The ride starts with a downward run of 3,400 feet (1,000 m) and then followed by 1,000 feet (300 m) lift.
Gold Runner Alpine Coaster at the Breckenridge Ski Resort in Colorado with a downhill run of 2,500 feet (760 m).
Sapphire Point in Summit County Colorado
Sapphire Point is a special place. A place where people get married. A place where people stroll and take in the amazing views. A place where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. Come along with me to Sapphire Point.

Conquering Colorado Lily Pad lake
Some friends and I went on a nice hike to Lily Pad lake in Silverthorne, Co. Enjoy!!
A fantastic hike for both young and old, Lily pad truly offers something for everyone. Keep on the lookout for beaver ponds and wildlife!
Directions: Exit I-70 at exit 205 and take Colorado 9 north (about a block) to the traffic light at Wendy's. Turn left onto Wildernest Rd., just in front of the 7-11, and continue 3.5 miles to the final loop at the end of the road. (Wildernest Rd. turns into Ryan Gulch Road)
At the top of the loop you will see a parking area on your left. A dirt road across from the parking area leads up the hill to the trailhead. The trail of 1.6 miles leads to two lakes - Lower Lily Pad Lake and Upper Lily Pad Lake.
This is a great nature walk for hikers of all ages and a perfect place to introduce youngsters to the beaver ponds that dot the area and the numerous yellow pond lilies that cover Lower Lily Pad by mid-summer.
The trail is a well marked path of gentle ups and downs that can be marshy in spots so some mosquito repellant is a good idea if you make the trek during the warmer season. Be on the lookout for wildlife that abounds - elk and moose have been spotted from this trail in recent years so keep the kids close!
You follow in the footsteps of early 19th century fur trappers as you proceed through the aspen and pine forests so the ghosts of Summit County may also be encountered in this historic place A fun hike for the whole family!

Breckenridge Hike
Our hike in Breckenridge, CO. McCullough Gulch was the name of the hike, and it worked its way up a pretty rough mountainside to a max elevation of about 12,000ft, where there's a glacial lake that feeds the river and waterfalls that cascade down the mountain alongside the trail. It was absolutely gorgeous!
Mohawk Trail foliage attracting visitors and locals
You’re confronted with this mountain of color the moment you come off I-91 onto the Mohawk Trail. As you continue it only gets better.
Meadow Creek Trail in Winter
Meadow Creek Trail begins in Frisco, Colorado and climbs paralleling Meadow Creek through heavy forest. A little over two miles in, the trail breaks out of the woods at nearly 11,000 feet, for a nice view of the surrounding scenery.

Hike Breckenridge, Colorado | EPIC hike rocky mountains
#hike #rockymountains #breckenridgecolorado Colorado is beautiful.. and what better way to experience everything CO has to offer than by hiking its breathtaking mountains?! We've been on many many hikes in the past 5 years but this hike takes the cake BY FAR. We didn't really know what to expect because when we first found the hike it was on the app #alltrails and we had never been to this part of #Breckenridge . This hike is more secluded but the views are phenomenal . So if you're ever in the #BreckenridgeColorado area and wanting some fresh air, adventure, & adrenaline then head out to #bluelakes and hike #MonteCristoGulch trail :) I wouldn't recommend this hike if you have kids on your back. I also wouldn't recommend this hike for your dog! Our dog is very athletic and we didn't bring him because of the difficulty level. This was one of the funnest days of filming that we've had in a while! So hopefully you will get some laughs and some #hikeinspiration while you watch! The bloopers at the end are hilarious too :)

Places to see in ( Breckenridge - USA )
Places to see in ( Breckenridge - USA )
Breckenridge is a Colorado town at the base of the Rocky Mountains’ Tenmile Range. It's known for its ski resort, year-round alpine activities and Gold Rush history. The Victorian core of this former mining town is preserved as the Breckenridge National Historic District, running primarily along Main Street, with colorfully painted buildings from the 1880s and '90s housing shops, galleries and restaurants.
Set at the foot of the marvelous Tenmile Range, Breck is a surviving mining town with a vibrant historic district. The down-to-earth vibe is a refreshing change from Colorado's glitzier resorts, and the family-friendly ski runs and gold-nugget history make it Summit County's most atmospheric destination. Regardless of whether it’s snow or shine, the BreckConnect Gondola up to the base of Peak 8 is where the fun begins.
The vast, hulking mountains here rise and fall, merging seamlessly into one another to present a perfect alpine backdrop. Laced with ski runs and hiking trails and stitched together with pine groves, they blaze gold in the morning, glow pink at dusk and fade into a deep shadowy blue as the sky pales then darkens, revealing endless stars best viewed from a frothing hot tub next to the roaring Blue River.
