Description:
Eleven miles of the Blue River Bikeway connect Breck with Frisco and several hiking and biking trails are accessible from that route. The Bikeway also leads to the Ten-Mile Canyon and Vail Pass National Recreation Trail, which parallels I-70. Its a fairly easy ride from Frisco to Copper Mountain. Then, from Copper Mountain up to the Vail Pass, the trail is naturally steeper, full of switchbacks and hairpin curves. A section of the trail runs west of town, too. The Blue River Bikeway is a Colorado rail trail and part of a nationwide rail-trail system.

Dillon Reservoir ride is better
By Tom Baughman in October, 2003
"This is the least scenic trail in the area. The first few miles by Dillon Reservoir are nice (with some workout hills), and near Breckenridge is pretty, but otherwise, it's a trail along a busy road.

It's a definite uphill going to Breckenridge. Our favorite trail in the area was the trail around Dillon Reservoir up to Keystone. The Ten Mile Canyon Trail was also nice, but you could hear and sometimes see the interstate. We didn't get far on it, but heard that it's better farther up the trail.
