If you’re looking to take a day off from skiing or riding Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain and Arapahoe Basin, you can still enjoy the great outdoors. Consider exploring the surrounding forests on snowshoes.
Snowshoeing is a wonderful way to explore areas that would otherwise be inaccessible this time of year. With hundreds of miles of trails all around the county, there is simply no limit to how far a simple pair of snowshoes can take you. You may find yourself deep in snow covered forests among 14,000 foot peaks as you make your way down one of the many snowshoe accessible winter trails around the area.
This activity is appealing to a wide variety of adventurers as no special skills are needed to participate. If you can walk, you can snowshoe! In Summit you will find three Nordic centers for unlimited snowshoe fun. At the Breckenridge Nordic Center, there are over 10 miles of dedicated snowshoe trails and also offers guided snowshoe tours. At Gold Run Nordic Center, you will find many trails that provide access to longer backcountry trails for the true adventurer. Frisco Nordic Center also offers many miles of snowshoeing trails that protrude out onto gorgeous Lake Dillon. Most trails are in forested areas and offer many options for all levels of difficulty.
The sport of snowshoeing is quickly gaining popularity as an alternate winter activity, and you aren’t limited to Nordic centers when you decide to give it a try. With hundreds of miles of backcountry trails leading to some of the most breathtaking views in the country, it is no surprise that this activity is so popular.
Summit County is the perfect place to take up this hobby and explore the outdoors. When you’re planning your Colorado winter vacation, don’t stress about driving from the airport. Peak 1 Express will shuttle you to your resort destination so you can spend more time enjoying the snow!
