Breckenridge Real Estate
Breckenridge Real Estate is a Good Deal Now
This may be the best time to consider buying Breckenridge real estate, or any other real estate in Summit County.
I have a good friend who has been a real estate agent in Dillon since the late 1970s. He’s seen Breckenridge real estate ebb and flow (mostly flow, and flow a lot). The last and only time, he watched Breckenridge real estate and Summit...

Breckenridge Weather
Breckenridge Weather
I’ve been traveling this week, and I have to say, Breckenridge weather is something to be envied.
I spent Fourth of July in St. Louis, and though it was exciting to watch fireworks at the arch, I missed Fourth of July in the mountains. For one thing, Breckenridge and Frisco fireworks are spectacular in our clear mountain air. In St. Louis, it had been rainy, so the heavy air...

Breckenridge Dining: Spencer's Restaurant
Breckenridge Dining: Spencer’s Restaurant
There are so many great restaurants to visit in Breckenridge that are a quick walk or free shuttle from Breckenridge vacation rentals, I thought about avoiding the temptation to focus on one in particular, but I figure, what the heck. I’ll eventually hit upon the highlights of many of Breckenridge’s best restaurants as I continue to blog.
So, I’ll start...

New Hiking Trail Near Breckenridge
On a sunny day in mid June, about 60 young people donated their time to create a new 1 ½-mile hiking trail, just south of Breckenridge lodging in downtown. They volunteered through Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, in order to open the path July 26.
The passageway — named Turk’s Trail after Turk Montepare, a long-time local who helped obtain the 1,842 acres of land containing the trail — is about...
Protect Skin in High Elevation
Though the blue skies, sunshine and low humidity in Breckenridge are heavenly, they can be a little rough on your skin.
Your Breckenridge vacation rental is located at approximately 40 degrees north and 9,600 feet above sea level. And with more than 300 days of sunshine per year, the sun gets very intense.
Many people use SPF 15 sunscreen to protect their skin at the beach or whenever they’re...
Breckenridge Fourth of July
I can’t think of anywhere more spectacular to be during the Fourth of July than Breckenridge. I’ve spent the holiday in Chicago, in airplanes watching fireworks sparkle over the suburbs of major cities, in St. Louis on a riverboat, in Wisconsin on a lake and plenty of other places, but I think watching fireworks near your Breckenridge vacation rental beats them all!
For one thing, the...

Breckenridge Sights and Wildlife
At least once a week when I’m driving around Breckenridge and Summit County, I wish I had my camera in my car. Yesterday was one of those days.
I was driving past a Breckenridge vacation rental, and right next to the driveway, I saw two young foxes. I stopped my car, and the one closest to me, about 4 feet away, just laid there, basking in the sun, looking up at me. Even as I rolled down my...
