The best kept secret in Summit County, Colorado is that there is actually more to do in the summer than in the winter! The area is extremely popular with Colorado residents and tourists. One of the best being that lodging accommodations are as much as half the price of the same accommodations during the ski season. Although the Summer tourist business is steadily growing here it’s pale in comparison to the number of Winter visitors. As a result you’ll find a casual, relaxing and pleasant atmosphere during the Summer months.When the winter snows melt away Summit County and the Vail Valley come alive with the activities you could imagine. If you’re adventurous there are hiking and mountain bike trails that reach the many mountain summits many approaching 14,000 feet in elevation. For less strenuous activity you might paddle a canoe in one of the many lakes, cast your line in one of the gold medal trout streams or ride a horse to an abandoned gold mine. Of course, you don’t have to do anything to enjoy the Summer in this Rocky Mountain paradise. You might just want to read a book by a stream, watch the sailboat races form the shores of Lake Dillon, or stroll through the many shops to find that perfect souvenir.

Breckenridge, Colorado
At 9,600 ft elevation and far away from the stress of the big city life is the 149 year old town of Breckenridge. The lure of gold and quick riches brought the first settlers to this high mountain valley. Founded in 1859 as a mining camp along the banks of the Blue River, Breckenridge has experienced a rich history of boom and bust. Mining ended in the 1940′s, leaving Breckenridge on hard times for over 20 years.
The new ‘gold rush’ started in the 1960′s with the introduction of alpine skiing to Breckenridge. Breckenridge Ski Resort is now known around the world as a world-class ski resort. “Genuine Colorado”, and “Real Town with Unreal Skiing” are phrases you may hear from a local when asked to describe Breckenridge. Breckenridge’s history as a mining town is still alive in the charming Victorian town. Strict building codes have preserved many of the old Victorian era buildings of the old west. Today Breckenridge is more than a quaint mining town from the past with exceptional skiing. It’s a year-round resort destination with enough Summer and Winter activities to please everyone. Breckenridge is known for an abundance of incomparable shopping, dining, and nightlife. Over 400 boutiques, galleries, bistros, salons, restaurants, and more offer a variety that is sure to please every taste and budget.
