Enjoy it while visiting Breckenridge in Colorado
Although Breckenridge is famous for its ski slopes, it also offers a wonderful array of hiking trails. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced hiker, there are options for everyone to enjoy. However, considering the high altitude in Breckenridge, it would be wise to acclimate yourself for a few days before embarking on a more demanding hike.
Nestled next to the scenic Breckenridge’s Cucumber Gulch Nature Preserve, the Cucumber Gulch hike offers a pleasant and manageable experience. With a modest elevation gain of approximately 150 feet, this trail spans slightly over 2 miles for a round-trip adventure. As you traverse this path, prepare to be enchanted by awe-inspiring vistas of the Tenmile Range. Additionally, you’ll be greeted by an array of vibrant wildflowers, and if fortune favors you, you might even catch glimpses of majestic creatures like moose and foxes. To begin your journey, head to the parking lot of the Breckenridge Nordic Center, where the trail awaits your exploration.
