1. Technical Trail Features (TTF’s):Technical trail features, also known as freeride features, are constructed, OPTIONAL trail facilities (such as ladder bridges, teeter totters, wall rides, etc.) that offer mountain bikers a chance to test their riding skills. The Town’s Fre-eride Park, located adjacent to the Four O’clock Trail and Grandview Drive, contains multiple TTF’s and dirt jumps. You may also encounter marked TTF’s in other loca-tions, such as the B-Line Trail. All features are designed for mountain bike use only and are strictly optional. Difficulty ratings and signage will help direct users to the features that match their skill level.
REMEMBER: RIDING TECHNICAL TRAIL FEATURES IS A HIGH RISK, HAZARDOUS ACTIVITY. USE OF THESE FEA-TURES IS DONE SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
2. Stay on the trails at all times:Going off-trail even a little bit can damage or destroy sensitive areas. Don’t pick flowers or disturb wildlife.
3. Be Courteous: Bikers must yield to pedestrians and equestrians. An uphill rider has the right of way. Announce yourself when approaching. Saying hello, please, and thank you go a long way!
4. Pick up after your dog: It’s the law in Summit County, and the right thing to do.
5. leave no trace:If it’s muddy or closed, don’t use it. Never create detours around mud. Don’t litter.
6. No dogs allowed in Cucumber Gulch: This preserve is a protected wetland area with critical habitat, so no pets are allowed. Violators will be ticketed.
7. Be aware of changing conditions: It can go from sunshine to thunderstorms in a moment, so check the weather and be prepared for a change. Always wear sunscreen.
8. Plan ahead, use at your own risk: Know where you are going and make sure others know your plans. You use these trails at your own risk. This map is for planning only and may not indicate all changes in trails.
9. breckenridge open space:The Town of Breckenridge Open Space and Trail program is overseen by a citizen commission, the Breckenridge Open Space Advisory Committee. BOSAC guides Town staff on the acquisition, use, and maintenance of open space in Brecken-ridge. For more information, call 970/547-3155.
welcome!We created this map to illustrate the many public trails accessible directly from the center of Breckenridge. They offer a wide variety of experiences for all types of users, and include gentle paths to challenging singletrack. These trails are a public resource for your enjoyment, and take great effort to maintain. You can help us ensure they remain open by following all signs, staying on the trail, never littering, being courteous, picking up after your dog, and using them at your own risk.
