Colorado Dashcam Breckenridge To Boulder - Labor Day 2019 - 9/2/2019
It's Labor Day 2019. What a beautiful day for a drive in the mountains. There are clear blue skies and mountainscapes in all directions. Starting at the south entrance to Breckenridge and driving north through town on Main Street, then continuing north on Colorado State Highway 9 to Farmers Korner. Turn east on Swan Mountain Road and skirt the southeast boundary of Dillon Reservoir before reaching the intersection with U.S. Route 6. Turn east on Route 6 and drive past Keystone Resort, before starting the climb to Arapahoe Basin Ski Area and eventually reaching the top of Loveland Pass at 11,991 feet above sea level. From there, it's a long descent to Loveland Ski Area and Interstate 70, just outside of the east entrance of the Eisenhower Tunnel. The trip is made longer by the holiday drivers making their way back to Denver. Upon reaching I-70, it's time to exercise patience in the long line of cars traveling east. Once past Georgetown, it's just a little farther to reach the I-70 Mountain Express Lane. Traffic seems to open up and soon Idaho Springs passes by, right before Route 6 splits off from I-70 and descends through Clear Creek Canyon to Golden. At Golden, it's time to head north on U.S. Route 93 all the way to Boulder.

No Car? No Problem. Why You Don't Need A Car To Visit Breckenridge, Colorado
The best way to explore Breckenridge’s quaint historic streets is with boots and bikes, leave the car at home.
Here are 5 reasons why going car free in Breckenridge will lead you to be care free on your next trip.
1. Save $ and hassle with airport shuttles
a. There are so many shuttle options leaving almost hourly from nearby airports and downtown Denver, book at shuttle, sit back, relax and take in the views of the Rocky Mountains on your way to Breckenridge. You’re on vacation after all!
2. Breck FREE ride bus service
a. It’s all in the name, but the Breck Free Ride is Breckenridge’s FREE transportation shuttle that will take you everywhere you want to go around Breckenridge. There’s even a free app to find the closest bus to you.
3. Foot or Bike
a. Breckenridge is quaint historic town that you can walk end to end in less 20 minutes so it’s incredibly easy to get around on foot. If you’d rather two wheels, bike rentals are perfect for the rec trails and bike lanes that rated a gold level Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclist.
4. Lodging Shuttle
a. The majority of Breckenridge lodges have complimentary shuttle service. Give them a quick call and get a lift to local attractions, shops, restaurants and events. I recommend you walk and take in the view, but I know your day must have been action packed
5. Gondola
a. The BreckConnect Gondola operates for free in the winter and the summer so no matter if you are hitting the slopes, checking out summer’s Epic Discovery or just trying to spot some non-human residents from above, the gondola is a must-adventure when you are in Breckenridge.

Alpine skiing, or downhill skiing, is the sport or recreation of sliding down snow-covered hills on skis with fixed-heel bindings. It is characterized by the requirement for mechanical assistance getting to the top of the hill, since the equipment does not allow efficient walking or hiking, unlike cross-country skis which use free-heel bindings. It is typically practiced at ski resorts which provide services such as ski lifts, artificial snow making and grooming, first aid, and restaurants. Back-country skiers use alpine skiing equipment to ski off the marked pistes, in some cases with the assistance of snowmobiles, helicopters or snowcats. Alpine skiing has been an event at the Winter Olympic Games since 1936 (except for the 1940 games).[1]
Vail, Colorado, is a small town at the base of Vail Mountain, home of the massive Vail Ski Resort. Set within White River National Forest, the town is a gateway for winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding. It’s also a summertime destination for golfing, hiking and cultural festivals. Gore Creek, popular for fly fishing, runs directly through the town center.

BLAZE NEW TRAILS
While Vail’s village has been buzzing with activity all summer long, up on the mountain there’s a different kind of excitement in the air. Trenches are being dug, pipes are being laid, and the groundwork for the largest snowmaking enhancement project in North America is well under way.
The first phase of our multi-year snowmaking expansion project will deliver:
The most legendary early season experience
A more predictable opening date
A better late season
You only get one start to a season. Never settle for anything less than the most legendary early season experience.
Vail is known for it’s upscale amenities and massive ski resort, which is the largest in the state. The town is located on both sides of I-70, about two hours west of Denver. The Austrian-modeled ski village has a lot of charm and one of the nicest around.
The Vail Valley offers much to do and see year round. In addition to skiing, ice skating and snow tubing are available, as are family-friendly festivals filled with music, food, and fun.
Camping, rafting, hiking and fishing are all extremely popular activities during summer. There are several 4×4 trails around town which are great way to take in the beautiful Colorado landscape.
Main Attractions
Vail Ski Resort – With over 5000 acres to ski on, there’s a new run or powder stash to find. Biking and hiking are popular on the mountain in the summer.
Biking:
Traverse across Vail’s epic back bowls on the Two Elk Trail. With two trailheads to start from, an East and West, this is one the best mountain biking trails in Eagle County. It’s also a great hiking trail, though a bit long at 11.8 miles.
Ride the paved 9 mile trail from near the summit of Vail Pass down to Copper Mountain. It’s called the Vail Pass Bike Path.
Camping:
Between Minturn and Red Cliff, take County Rd 707 to Halfmoon CG or primitive car camp anywhere on that road. It’s a bumpy road though.
Take US 24 south of Vail just past Red Cliff, you’ll see Hornsilver Campground.
Just after Hornsilver CG take a right on Homestake Rd to Gold Park CG or primitive car camp anywhere along that smooth road. It’s ten miles back to the reservoir.
If you continue south on Hwy 24 past Hornsilver, you’ll past Yoder Gulch Rd. Take a right and and pull over at any spot on that road.
Keep going on Hwy 24 and you’ll hit Camp Hale Memorial CG just before Tennessee Pass.
There’s also primitive camping in the wilderness north of Vail. Take exit 173 onto North Frontage Rd. At traffic circle, stay on N Frontage Rd. Turn left onto Davos Trail and a quick right on Cortina Ln. Follow that for 0.5 miles then stay slight right onto Buffehr. Follow that into the woods where camping is everywhere. Red and White Mountain is the area.
