Mountain Biking is a Great Way to See Summit County!

There are many ways to see breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains, but there is nothing quite like an exhilarating ride on down a mountain bike trail in Breckenridge or Vail, Colorado.  With hundreds of scenic miles stretching across single track and national forest roads, you don’t need to be an adventure-seeker to enjoy a mountain biking trip in Colorado.  In fact, you don’t even need to pedal uphill.  One of the best ways to see this area by bike is on a downhill-only ride. 

No visit to the Summit County Colorado area would be complete without a bike ride through Vail Pass.  This scenic, winding trail travels 20 miles one way, starting at altitudes of over 10,000 feet up.  Not for the faint of heart, the route starts in Vail and ends in Frisco. 

A similar biking tour takes visitors on a free shuttle to the top of Vail Pass, and allows them to coast back down at a leisurely pace to Copper Mountain, through the Ten Mile Canyon and where they can enjoy the town of Frisco or the resort at Copper.

Summit County is a great place for cycling enthusiasts of all ages; whether you want a physical challenge or a leisurely guided tour.  Just remember that the air is much thinner at high altitudes, so any high elevation climb will be very challenging.  Biking tour companies around this area offer a variety of packages to meet your needs, no matter what your age or level of experience.  Most offer comfortable touring bikes as well as front or full-suspension mountain bikes.

Mountain Biking is incredibly popular in the Colorado Rockies, and the Breckenridge area offers exceptional mountain bike trails.  Enjoy an exhilarating ride through designated national forest lands and take in the breathtaking views along the way.
