Fondly referred to as Breck, Breckenridge, Colorado, is known as a skier’s paradise. Situated at the foot of the Rocky Mountains on the Tenmile Range, it is home to one of the largest, most popular ski resorts in North America: Breckenridge Ski Resort. Outside of ski season, though, hiking, biking, and rafting make it quite the summer playground. In the fall, golden-hued aspens shimmy in the wind.
