The Breck Fidy

Ooo La la, the high country is opening up, offering up bigger, badder rides and the Goat got to go play. 50 miles of Breckenridge is just what I needed to quell the beast inside for at least a week. I had originally intended to do some double lollypop loop into Keystone from Frisco but when I realized I missed my turn off the Colorado Trail, I decided to take my adventure deeper into Breckenridge via some old Flume trails. I was not disappointed. Just another day of adventure between 9,000 and 11,500 ft.

1st view of the day from the Peaks trail



Top of Gold Hill



Clear Cut Much?



Clear Cut from 1988, a fire waitin to happen



Random meadow on the CT



View of the Peaks from the CT



Some CT goodness



A random turn turn to some off the CT leads me to a marsh to be hiked to get to those trees over yonder'



through the trees I found the old flume I was looking for and some remnants of a winter, not so long ago



But it gets good soon enough



Where old Flume supports make a great bike stand



View from Humbug Hill above the French Gulch



Then down to Breckenridge and up Ski Hill Rd to take the Peaks Trail back to Frisco



and this is why we live in Colorado
