Best photo spots in Breck

No trip to Breckenridge is complete without a few pictures, right? Well, instead of having your photos limited to Mainstreet and the Ski Resort, head to these places to see Breck in new ways that will definitely take your breath away!  

Boreas Road:
If you’re looking for a great spot to take some fall photos, head up Boreas Road about .2 miles, and turn off on your first right, before you head up the large hill. Here lies a small parking lot and a nice mountain scene for photos. There are a few old mining relics, a cabin, and an abundance of beautiful aspen trees.

Boreas Road Overlook:
If you keep heading up Boreas Road, you’ll come upon a pull off as you get higher up on the mountain. This pull off offer stunning views of Breckenridge and the 10 Mile Range. During a winter’s night you can head up here and get some great time lapse shots of the snowcats grooming the slopes.

Breck Overlook on Ski Hill:
If you’re ever driving up to the base of Peak 8, you’ll notice a small parking lot right after the Shock Hill turn on Ski Hill Road on the left hand side. Make sure to pull off and get out your camera, because this spot has great views of the whole town. You can get a nice picture of the family.

Top of Imperial Express:
Whether skiing in the winter or hiking during the summer, getting to the top of Imperial will give you one of the best, most picturesque views of Breckenridge, the rest of the 10 Mile Range, and many other Colorado Peaks. Make sure to bring your camera or just be an epic iphone photographer to get some great shots. If you feel more adventurous, head to the top of the peak, where you can see Copper Mountain and other great Coloradan peaks.

The new Peak 6:
The newest peak at Breck, which opened last winter, has some of the best views in the state! The photo opportunities are great from the second you get off the Kensho Chairlift – but for even more breathtaking photos, hike directly up from the top of the lift and find unobstructed views no matter where you aim your camera.
