They nail it every time. A slightly more upscale restaurant with solid food options and a great drink menu. They have 2 happy hours, 4-6P and 9-12P. 2-4-1 Martinis and Apps! Yummy brunch, too.

I'm not sure if it's the 125-year-old Victorian home, the locally sourced food or the mountain views that makes Hearthstone one of my favorite restaurants in Breck. Definitely a "treat yo self" kind of place with entrees ranging from $30-$50 but worth every penny. Recommend you make reservations.

If you can get past the carpeted floor, this is a surprisingly decent family owned and run Mexican joint on Main St. Good for big groups and kids.

We love this quick and easy hike. If you go at dusk, don’t forget to look up, the sky is incredible.
The Iowa Hill Trail is a pleasant stroll through an 1800's placer mine site with many interpretive signs along the way. A number of short side trails take you to interesting preserved mining machinery and the old boarding house.
This is a nice shorter route for families or anyone visiting the area to see what mining looked like a hundred years ago.

Oh my goodness, this place is just the cutest. It's the oldest year-round theatre company on Colorado's Western Slope. It's small and quaint, but the seats are comfortable and great views from most seats. The performances are spot on.

All of the shuttles to other mountains like Keystone leave from Breckenridge Station which is on the north side of town and a 15 - 20 minute walk. What you can do is take the free bus service to get from Columbine condos to Breckenridge station. The ‘Brown Route’ picks up by Peak 9 (Beaver Run or Valdoro Mountain Lodge) every 15 minutes and goes to Breckenridge Station. From there you’ll want to take the ‘Swan Mountain Flyer’ to Keystone. This would require minimal walking taking these two buses.
