Breckenridge’s trail network winds through coniferous forests, alpine tundra, and mountain passes—with iconic routes like the Colorado, Wheeler, and Peaks Trails among the highlights. But the real advantage here? You don’t have to choose blindly. With thousands of acres of permitted terrain around Breckenridge, your guide will tailor the day entirely to you—whether that’s a laid-back stroll around Mohawk Lakes, a wander through wildflower fields on the Peaks Trail, or a full-day push up toward the Ten Mile Range. Just show up with your goals, and they’ll handle the rest.

The best thing about hiking in Breckenridge is that there are incredible options for all skill levels. For beginner hikes, if you can walk for four to six hours with little elevation gain, you are good to go! Intermediate hikes will see a little more change in elevation and hikes will start to increase in length, hiking anywhere between four to eight miles. Advanced hikes are full day treks with steep descents and challenging switchbacks.
The Colorado and Peaks Trails are suitable for all levels of hikers, while the Wheeler Trail is more difficult. Keep in mind, the weather in summer can be very hot and you’ll also be packing a daypack filled with water and other things you’ll need throughout the day.
Here’s a list of the equipment you need to bring:
