Have you ever visited Breckenridge in the fall? Well if you haven’t, you should. Fall in Breckenridge is not only one of the most beautiful times of year to visit, but it also has some of the best weather, dining deals, events and more.

1.) The fall colors

We couldn’t start this blog without talking about the beautiful changing colors of the fall. Breckenridge is filled with changing aspens that can be viewed either by hike or car. There is nothing better than standing in the middle of a trail overcome with an orange glow from the aspens, views of the Tenmile Range and the crisp mountain breeze at your back. Believe us, it will make your day.

2.) No traffic

Breckenridge is a small town, just over seven miles long and two miles wide, and fall is one of the less busy times of the year. During this time of year, parking is easy to find, traffic through town is minimal and you will be able to enjoy those beautiful fall drives. Not only is it easier to navigate this town by car, but the wait lines in town are almost non-existent.

3.)Shopping  and dining deals

Want to save some money on your trip? Come during the “off-season” and enjoy discounts just about anywhere. Pick up the dining passport in town and save on almost any restaurant and shop in town with 2-for-one deals, retail discounts and more! So, don’t miss out on that new pair of hiking boots or that super-dry rain jacket – this is the best time to buy them!

4.) Weather

The weather in fall is mostly dry, with average temperatures in the mid 60’s, making it perfect for outside activities and fall leaf peeping. Soak up the last few warm, sunny days in the mountains!

5.) Events

If you like to drink, watch films, listen to live music or even partake in a race or two, fall is full of these events. Stop by for the annual Wine Classic and Film Festival, or opt-in for the new Strings and Cider event and make it a weekend in Breck to remember! For a full list of events this fall, click here.
