“It’s like heaven to me in the summer,” one Breckenridge resident tells us. “It’s magic.”
So, how to score a perfect visit? We asked three locals for tips.

• Where to start: I’m rolling down to
Mom’s Baking Co. in downtown Breckenridge, grabbing a burrito and coffee to go. I just got a stand-up paddleboard so I’m bringing that down to
Lake Dillon near the
Frisco Bay Marina. Since we’re insane here, after my paddle and picnic, I’ll go take my mountain bike for a spin. Visitors like the
Peninsula in Frisco, but my favorite trail is
