About my blog
Making Breckenridge and Summit County easy to navigate while you visit in the winter or the summer.
Breathe in the Mountain Air. Let Breckenmendations Show You Where to Go and What to Bring.
From snow-covered peaks to sun-drenched trails, Breckenridge and Summit County offer endless opportunities for mountain adventure. Winter brings skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing, while summer opens the door to hiking, mountain biking, paddleboarding, and more. Breckenmendations is here to help you make the most of every season with trusted tips, trail suggestions, and product recommendations that make exploring the mountains easier, safer, and more fun.
But the adventure doesn’t stop on the slopes. Summit County is rich in culture, history, and small-town charm—from the art galleries and historic buildings along Main Street to local coffee shops, gear stores, and seasonal festivals. Through this blog, I share my favorite places to eat, shop, relax, and soak in the local vibe—so you can experience Colorado like someone who’s been coming here for a lifetime (because I have!).
