DOG SLED
Hangout with the Siberian Huskies for a day. Dog sledding is truly one of the most thrilling ways to experience winter in Colorado. Good Times Dog Sled Tours is a great place to spend a full or half day exploring “off the beaten path” terrain in a memorable way.
GONDOLA RIDE
This free activity offers breathtaking views of the town of Breckenridge, Cucumber Gulch, the Breckenridge Nordic Center and who knows… maybe a moose sighting. Take a ride from town (the gondola terminal is located one block off Main Street on Watson Avenue) and enjoy the sights and stay for lunch or a drink. We love relaxing at the TBar restaurant at the base of Peak 8.
