"I came to Colorado with my family and we ranged in age from 8 to 75. We set up a beginner 1/3-day rafting trip. My grandma and my son were both nervous, and you guys really put them at ease. From the gentleman who checked us in to the woman who helped us pick out our t-shirts, we had an all-around amazing time. Our guide was the best. He was very patient with us, helped us, explained everything and made our rafting trip a memory of a lifetime. I cannot compliment your company enough! I only wish we lived closer so we could come rafting with you guys more often."

Summit County Bike Path

The Summit County bike path is a network of paved bike paths that reaches from Breckenridge to Frisco, Dillon, Keystone, Copper Mountain Resort and the top of Vail Pass, where it links with the Eagle county bike path system. The bike path network offers 55 miles of non-motorized pathways that link Summit County’s major towns and resorts.

Cycling is an excellent way to explore Colorado, and the Summit County bike path makes it easy for people of all ages and ability levels to do a little (or a lot!) of bike riding. See our bike rentals page for information and pricing on bikes, trailers and tag-alongs. To help make the Summit County bike path enjoyable for all, remember to follow bike path rules and etiquette.

Protect your head! Helmets are included with all bike rentals.

Breckenridge to Frisco Bike Path

This section of the Summit County bike path first cuts through downtown Breckenridge, past cafes, grocery stores, souvenir shops and more. Keep your eyes open for interpretive signs and mine tailings as you continue north along the bike path, which follows the Blue River.

Enjoy the open space trails and scenery that backs up to the bike path as you enter the Farmer’s Corner area. Expect a little hill as the bike path climbs up through the woods to Frisco’s County Commons building. Benches along the route offer a peaceful spot to rest. If you’re not ready for the return climb to Breckenridge, read about our Breckenridge to Frisco downhill ride, which includes free bike rental drop-off in Frisco.
Approximately 10 miles from Breckenridge to Frisco on the bike path

Frisco to Dillon Bike Path

From the Frisco Marina, bike path users can follow the signs to Dillon. The bike path winds through marshy areas along the shores of Lake Dillon and eventually through one of the area’s most popular campgrounds, Heaton Bay. Trails and picnic areas around the lake make excellent rest spots.

The bike path parallels the Dillon Dam Road, which offers outstanding views of both the lake and Keystone Mountain. The Summit County bike path continues along the shores and into downtown Dillon. Stopping is prohibited in some places along the Dam Road, but the views from town are just as spectacular.
Approximately 6 miles from Frisco to Dillon on the bike path

Dillon to Keystone Bike Path

As the bike path leaves downtown Dillon, it borders the lake and offers amazing sunset scenery over the Tenmile Range. Though the bike path follows U.S. Highway 6 as it nears Keystone, the path stays just enough off the road so you can enjoy the smell of pine trees. Once at Keystone Resort, cyclists can stop for lunch, a scenic lift ride or a game of golf.

Swan Mountain Bike Path

From Summit Cove, which sits between Dillon and Keystone, cyclists can follow the Swan Mountain bike path toward Breckenridge. Though the paved loop is not yet completed all the way into Breckenridge, the Swan Mountain bike path makes a scenic add-on to a ride from Dillon to Keystone. A great workout, the path climbs through natural, wooded areas where it’s common to see wildlife around sunset and twilight.
Approximately 2 miles from Summit Cove to the end of the Swan Mountain bike path

Frisco to Vail Pass Bike Path

For those ready for a major climb up one of Colorado’s famous passes, a bike ride from Frisco to the top of Vail Pass is your answer. For everyone else, the Vail Pass shuttle downhill ride includes a shuttle to the top so you can spend your ride enjoying the scenery and relaxing in the saddle. From the top – 10,666 feet – the bike path follows Tenmile Creek past Copper Mountain Resort and into downtown Frisco.
