Show up early and bring cash or check! No credit cards are accepted. The food here is my favorite breakfast food, plus it is a super quick walk to get here. Their patio is hard to get a table, but well worth the wait. Service is one of the better experiences in Breck - very friendly and as fast as a mountain town will get.

This is my "regular" bar in Breck. Easy to walk to and the staff is friendly. Food has taken a turn for the worse with their new chef, but you can't screw up beer so I stop by here almost every night when I am in town. Great people watching from their Main Street facing patio. Regular menu - as mentioned - is a bit boring, but we did eat Thanksgiving dinner here in 2018 and it was excellent (albeit expensive).

Live music on many summer nights. If we are in Frisco, we try to plan our trip around being able to stop to listen to music and have an ice cream. Beer, wine, and bar food also available outside.

While it is a little on the expensive side, kids LOVE to spend a day here on the slides, coasters, and other activities. Its shuts down for lightening so check the weather as it might make more sense to do a la carte instead of a day pass.

We love renting boats from Frisco Bay Marina every summer! They offer power boats, pontoons, paddle boards, kayaks, canoes... and we've done them all. Book in advance for best availability.

The Village location of the Breck Ski & Ride School is a short walk from our condo. We highly recommend taking first timer lessons as well as using their classes to tune your skills at the beginning of each season. Group classes work great, as do private and family lessons.

One of the easier 14ers. Experience is a plus, but as long as your healthy this is a do-able hike. Many first-timers choose Quandary as their first 14er. BUSY on weekends and holidays.

The best drive-able 14er in Colorado. Take a little cash with you as there is a permit fee if you want to park at the top ($10 or so). Incredible views. Recommend that you start early as afternoon storms can be dangerous - lots of lightening.
