The 5 Best Hikes in Breckenridge to See Fall Foliage

Whether you want a quick hike to start the day or something a little longer, there’s no shortage of trails to explore around Breckenridge. Leaves begin changing color in early to mid-September due to the area’s high elevation. Leaf peeping is a popular activity during this time frame, so if you plan on hitting the trails, consider going early and during the middle of the week.

• Berry Creek Loop: This 2.5-mile loop trail near Edwards offers scenic views of nature as well as wildlife.
• Beaver Lake Trail: If you’re looking for a longer hike, you’ll enjoy this 3.6-mile trail that takes you through lush forests and along a creek. 
• Lily Pad Lake Trail: Hike along a mostly flat trail that starts at Eagle’s Nest Wilderness. During the roughly 3 mile trek, you’ll pass by a large beaver pond and a lake.
• Blue River Trail: You’ll be surrounded by the White River National Forest during your 3-mile hike. This trail does go along private property lines, so be sure to pay attention and stay on course.
• Old Dillon Reservoir Trail: Walk along the 1.7-mile loop trail that’ll have you exploring Dillon Reservoir Recreation Area. 

Another great way to see beautiful fall colors is to walk around downtown Breckenridge. You’ll be able to enjoy the crisp air and stunning scenery while enjoying a bit of shopping.
