Congratulations to last month’s winner Michelle Livingston, and take a look at some of the reasons why shoulder season is a Grand time to be in Breckenridge!

I plan on spending some great weekends with my family at Breckenridge this summer and enjoying the wonderful walking paths and trails in the area.
Our summer trip always includes lots of walks through town and on the trails with stops in the shops and playgrounds, especially to get ice cream. We love the Putt and Play Junction at the Ice Arena. It’s a great place for our kids to burn off a lot of energy. Of course, we always take the gondola to Peak 8 fun and never miss a chance to stop at the arcade in Eric’s basement. The options are endless and we try our best to squeeze in all the fun during our trip!
