Breckenridge in the summer

[ChiComCat]

I'm a little late to this party but wanted to add my 2 cents since I lived there for a minute.  The mountain will generally put on the most entertainment in the summer.  Every weekend there will be a free concert/event trying to bring people up. Breck is pretty much a straight shot to walk down main street if you want to do something walkable.  There are a few restaurants/shops off the main drag but nothing that is a must hit.  Hearthstone is good fine dining but there was a restaurant called flip or switch or something that was good upscale too.  There is a mexican place

Frisco's cajun place is pretty good.  Butterhorn bakery is good breakfast/booze option.  Mountain lion cafe and sunshine cafe (both in Dillon) are better breakfast options but won't serve booze.

There's an intermediate run at:  http://clearcreekrafting.com/trips/

3's with some 4's.  Meet in the middle.  The people that die are usually rafting on their own without a guide or don't follow instructions.

I'm really not all that concerned about dying, I just don't want to have to work that hard.

If you don't want to work hard than you want stronger rapids.  Less flow = more paddling between rapids.  Plus it's pretty boring.

i fell out on a 4 and didnt die.

Yeah but how much effort did you have to put into not dying?

They have amazingly fit athletes and all around good people in kayaks following the groups too if people fall out.  They tow you to the shore if the guide doesn't get you first.  Your locked in pretty good with your feet though, most likely you'll only go over if the whole raft flips.

Don't go rafting when your drunk, cause you'll probably die.

it wasnt that hard to not die in my case. i popped up about 15 yards from the raft, made sure to keep my feet up and swam back to it and the guide hauled me in. 3 people in our raft fell out and only 1 was injured*!

On the drive up, stop in Denver off I-70 for lunch at Masterpiece Delicatessen and get The Italian with Voodoo chips.

How does the bike on the ski lift thing work?  Do you have to be some sort of a pro to do this?

[star seed 7]

there are differing difficulties, just like skiing.

[Bloodfart]

Was there today for wedding - jesus Breck is busy in the summer.  Been awhile since I've been there in June/July.  Recommendo: make a reservation for whatever you want to do.

Breck during the fall is much more enjoyable. Pace slows but still plenty to do. I like first of October. Although can be hit or miss on snow.

We ended up deciding on a condo on Keystone in the river run area, the building with the hood kid pools.  We'll drive over to Breck and do some shopping or something once, and hit their little slide and zip line thing once, but with our kids'age, that's about it for our formal Breck expose.
