beautiful breckenridge colorado so if you've never been to breckenridge and you're visiting
here in the whole time follow along as we go explore beautiful fall here in colorado
we are on main street breckenridge and it is just golden and lit up here with fall
color what a beautiful beautiful time to be visiting so first stop because it's eight
in the morning coffee we are gonna stop at cool river coffee house here what a cute little place
this is really charming they have a variety of cold and hot drinks as well as some breakfast
and lunch options and a homemade bakery we got some freshly baked blueberry muffins
i got a pumpkin spice latte and vince got a mocha first pumpkin spice of the year
these homemade blueberry muffins are delicious two thumbs up for cool river the
blueberries are good i got my pumpkin spice haven't had one yet so gotta get one a year
very very very popular area here just right outside of breckenridge is blue lakes so right
behind us is a lake but blue lake is actually up there and the road is actually closed
so we are just parked right here um we're not gonna hike all the way up there
but normally you can drive up there and or you can hike so um beautiful beautiful
area as you can see there's snow in the mountains already the road to get here
is all gravel so just heads up it was pretty easy we have a 4x4 jeep and i mean i think a car anyone
could get to at least this spot so check out some beautiful mountains colors and all the fall fields
blue lakes here in breckenridge is a very popular area to start a 14 or hike to quandary
peak colorado holds 58 14ers which is a 14 000 foot mountain so being able to summit a 14er is
pretty exciting so quandary peak is right here we just did our first fourteener a couple weeks
ago we did mount it bierstad so quandary is on our list we will do this one day we will sum
it this week um but not today it's too cold and it's snowing there's a mountain goat up here too
on the side i just found him he's just hanging stunning himself so there's about five goats
up there they're beautiful far away so i had to pull out the zoom ones but that's always one thing
when you're out in these mountains look up because it's amazing what you can see yesterday we were in
rocky mount national park and i was looking up the mountains and we saw a big bear so always
remember to look up search out the top of the mountains you never know what you're gonna see
so now we are heading on boreas pass which is a 22 mile road it starts here in breckenridge
and it goes all the way to como so along the drive there's a few stops we're gonna make and
the first one is the famous breckenridge troll so the famous troll is located right off of illinois
creek a trailhead his name is isak hearthstone he is 15 feet tall and is made out of recycled scrap
wood you can visit him year round and it is free to visit there's isak there's a line to get your
photos so we're here pretty early but there's just a small line but it's worth it he's super cute
so we are on boraes pass drive now eventually it turns into gravel
but you guys the views from this are amazing and we
are just getting started look at all those ski runs so breckenridge is a very very popular
place for skiing it is a skiers paradise all right boreas pass officially turned into gravel
this is absolutely gorgeous so give you a little perspective of what this drive is going
to be like for you um it is kind of single lane there's pull offs here and there so you can pass
and it's quite rocky and pot-hole-ish so we are thankful we have our jeep and yeah i i guess
we'll see how bad it gets we'll see if like cars can make it i'm not sure but we'll see
Boreas pass is a leafer's dream if you were here at breckenridge during fall do it if you're not
here during fall time like just doing this anytime to see the mountains and the views
it's a beautiful beautiful drive and highlight to stop onto this pass is this cool red tank
the farther we're getting on boreas pass the rockier it is getting so i don't know
the beginning cars would be fine but the further you go it might get a little more trickier so just
a heads up but if you want to see some views you got four wheel drive high clearance vehicle do
it it's about 12 miles up at boreas pass you'll come to the ranger park district look at this
it's like a little cabin here in the mountains so this is where the black
powder pasta trail is located we aren't doing that but um to give you an idea on the map
this is where we're at doesn't give you all the cozy mountain cabin feels i don't know but we
are going to turn around we went about halfway on boreas pass and now we're going to head back to
breckenridge we are downtown breckenridge again on main street we're just going to walk around
head up to the winery get some food do some shopping and check it out
this beautiful river rock here that's kind of right off main street it's just
nice trails that go along the river here you guys
beautiful the cutest stores here it's just lined so pretty we are gonna hit up the carboy winery
this is super cute cheers
you just finished up at the winery oh my god was it good
it was good i haven't eaten anything though since you know we had this muffin and coffee so
wine went straight to my head so if you're looking for a good place to sit and have a glass of wine
