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.
