Overview

3:08 average time for 17.2 miles. The Peaks trail is one of the most well-known mountain biking trails in Summit County. It’s no surprise, this trail has something for just about everyone. The sections near Frisco are technical enough to challenge riders who like those things, there are some great big mountain views at the halfway point of the ride, and it’s long enough with a bit of climbing to make it feel like a big ride.

The trail can definitely be ridden from either Frisco or Breckenridge, and you can even choose to ride the paved bike path to Breckenridge and take the trail back to make things easier. The climbing is all rideable, and it’s a nice challenge.

Overview

1:58 average time for 14.4 miles. This is a great link from town up the lower slopes of Baldy Mountain to Baker's Tank, an historic railroad water tank along Boreas Pass Road. The trail features a respectable amount of single-track. The road sections are closed to motorized use with the exception of a mile or so of mining roads in the middle portion of the ride.

Wayfinding from the top of Nightmare on Baldy to Mountain Pride Trail can be confusing. In general, dramatic (steep) climbs or descents are an indication that a wrong turn has been made.

The description includes an out and back at the upper end of the ride to Baker's Tank. The ride length can be shortened by cutting this section out. However, the 1.8 mile out and back is extremely enjoyable and includes a fun section of trail with abundant aspen and some of the best dirt in the area.

1:33 average time for 6.1 miles. Details

A loop ride through the Highlands at Breckenridge subdivision utilizing Lower, Mike's Trail, Middle Flume Trail, and Upper Flume Trail. Both Mike's Trail and the southern end of the Upper Flume Trail are steep, loose climbs that may be challenging for beginners. The loop is very well marked. Other than the roadway crossings, way-finding along the route is easy. This loop is excellent in either direction. Riding it counterclockwise (in the opposite direction of this description) will get most of the climbing out of the way at the beginning of the ride.

Overview
6:06 average time for 44.9 miles. This is a massive loop ride, beginning and ending in Breckenridge, passing through Frisco, Silverthorne, Dillon and Keystone Resort.

The loop utilizes Shock Hill trails, the Peaks Trail, Old Dillon Reservoir, Oro Grande Trail, trails within the Homestead area of Keystone, and the western end of the Golden Horseshoe trails.

The ride includes 75%, or 35 miles of single-track. There is also approximately 9 miles of paved roads and bike path, primarily between the end of the Peaks Trail and the beginning of the Oro Grande Trail to navigate, as well as about 2 miles of dirt roadway in the Keystone area.

The route is not exceptionally difficult technically, and there are no tough-steep climbs; however the loop is pretty long warranting at least an Intermediate/Difficult rating. Plan ride time accordingly (at1 least 6 hours).

Overview

1:55 average time for 13.9 miles. This is a 100% single-track tour of the Breckenridge Ski Resort. The downside is the ride is on the skiresort. The upside is the ride (with the exception of closing the loop through town) is 100% single-track!

Need To Know:

Breckenridge Ski Resort is open to lift serviced biking. The trails are by no means downhill oriented. Most of these trails are little frequented by the lift-serviced crowd; however be cautious on Swinger Switchback and Pioneer in particular.

The loop begins and ends at the Beaver Run parking lot at the base of Peak 9.

The final 2-1/2 miles features an entirely single-track connection between the Town of Breckenridge and the Peaks Trail.

Because of the open ski trails, there are excellent views for much of this ride. Additionally, the open ski trail provides wildlife grazing opportunities. Moose, deer and elk sightings (on Peak 9 in particular) are quite common.
