Take a leisurely drive with your loved ones to the top, approximately six miles or pull off at one of the many spots along the way. Bring a blanket, a bottle of wine (or your favorite beverage) and a picnic basket full of all the goods. Enjoy the yellow-orange backdrop of the ten-mile range!

Fall picnic tip: Stop by the Cheese Shop of Breckenridge on your way to Boreas Pass. They offer cheese boxes, charcuterie platters and freshly made sandwiches. While you are there, walk across Main Street Station to Continental Divide Winery to grab a bottle of wine. 

Grab your picnic blanket and set up next to the river, on the lawn or at one of the picnic tables in the plaza area. The sound of the Blue River and the fall colors in the background make for the perfect fall picnic area in the center of Breckenridge.

Fall picnic tip: Is there a better beverage than a hot apple cider to complement the stunning fall colors? Stop at one of these spots before heading to the Blue River Plaza.

One of the most picturesque spots in Breckenridge. Take the short hike around Sapphire Point and set up a picnic at the overlook, with Lake Dillon and the ten-mile range in the background, you will not be disappointed with this picnic view!

Fall picnic tip: On your way out of town, swing by The Crown, Downstairs Deli, or Cool River Coffee House for a delicious sandwich. Looking for a different picnic fare? Head out on Airport Road and stop by Alberto’s Mexican Kitchen for a scrumptious taco or burrito to go. 

Conveniently located near Grand Timber Lodge, this is the perfect adventure picnic spot. The hike is 1.3 miles and opens up to Sawmill Reservoir. Lay down your picnic blanket and enjoy the reservoir surrounded by fall colors.
