Telephone: (970) 262-0817
Description: Mountain biking is king all over Colorado, but in Summit County, riding along the paved Blue River Bikeway connecting Breckenridge and Frisco is a milder option. The route parallels Highway 9, winding through meadows and forests. If you can handle the uphill, take the paved Ten Mile Canyon National Recreation Trail from Frisco up to Copper Mountain, or put your bike on a free Summit Stage bus and coast down. From Copper Mountain, you can also continue on the Vail Pass Bikeway, a 20-mile route (one-way) that climbs over 10,600-foot Vail Pass and down into Vail Village. These are beautiful rides anytime but especially in early fall when the aspen trees are turning gold. For trail maps contact either of the above telephone numbers.
