Why Go To Breckenridge
Settled in 1859, Breckenridge retains the same Victorian-era charm it did during the height of the gold rush. Its down-to-earth and friendly atmosphere has also endured its transformation from a silver and gold mining town to one of the country's most beloved skiing destinations. What's more, Breck - as it's called by locals - is a quick drive from other popular Colorado destinations, including Vail, Which is 40 miles northwest, and Denver, which is 80 miles northeast.
