Have a taste of Breckenridge brew. Playing hard is what you usually do in Breckenridge. But after long hours of skiing you can warm up by going to the Breckenridge brewery. If you like amber beer, then the Avalanche Ale is recommended. But if you like your beer a bit darker, you should try Vanilla porter. Yet, aside from the two beers mentioned, you still have the chance to taste eight more brews. Even big commercial breweries may not have as many brewed varieties as Breckenridge brewery offers to its visitors.
Get A Lift with the Imperial Express. The chair lift in Breckenridge Ski Resort is the highest in North America, capable of bringing visitors to Peak 8, which is over 12,800 feet of elevation. Once you are at the top of peak 8, you are granted a spectacular view of the surrounding areas that include Breckenridge, of course, plus Baldy Mountain, the Ten Mile Range, Quandry Peak, and even Keystone Ski Resort.
Command a dog sled. If you happen to be in Breckenridge during winter, do not miss on the experience of directing a group of Siberian Huskies to pull your dog sled. The ride is truly exciting but the breathtaking panorama along the way will surely grab your attention away from dog sledding sometimes.
Ride a hot air balloon. If you are in Breckenridge during the warmer months, there is another exciting way to see Breckenridge from above – the hot air balloon. At around 9,000 feet, you can already see one hundred miles of spectacular scenery. While the spectacle of the magnificent Continental Divide plus some of the–ers will surely grab your attention, make sure to observe the wildlife that is part of the view, too.
