Breckenridge Tops the Best Plus More

By Monique Mertrandes

I stick to my well-founded view that Summit Countys Breckenridge is the place to enjoy the night life, to dine out, or engage in your choice of recreational activities whatever the season of the year. Before anyone thinks of favoritism, the claim is based on factual information like the survey with the residents of Summit County as respondents. The result was the basis for the Best of Summit County selection featured in Summit Daily News. Here are some of the 2008 awards categories where Breckenridge ranked high on top.



Best Ski Mountain: It is for real and if you happen to be in Summit County during winter, you should not miss the chance to experience why it is called the best ski mountain. Breckenridge Ski Resort is the locals most frequently suggested place when asked about golf courses. What makes them proud of Breck?

At Breckenridge Ski Resort, just the availability of various skiing runs, whether you are a novice, or an accomplished adventure seeker, makes you feel an important and welcome guest. As a guest you will feel as if your host is providing you with personalized service. The title is, no doubt fitting for a place where you can view fantastic scenery at the highest spot in North America in addition to its exciting runs whatever your skiing level of expertise is.

As expected, there are celebrations for being awarded as Best Ski Mountain by both the locals as well as the guests in the many watering holes on the mountain.

Best Place for People Watching: When on the mountains of Summit County do not fail to visit Breckenridges Main Street, chosen as the finest place to relax or enjoy in the county. No matter if you go there to buy food for breakfast or you are enjoying a few drinks before calling it a day, take note of the interesting view aside from the mountains.

Top Hiking Trail: If the best ski mountain in Summit County is not open during your visit, do not be upset because you can try what the locals consider as the countys best hiking trail, the Mohawk Trail. Bring sufficient food to provide the energy you will need as you hike the seven mile long trail and see the Continental Falls, the Mohawk Lake along the way as well as the magnificent view of Breckenridge as you turn to the north. Taking the trail is one way to know Breckenridge better.

Best Park: Breckenridges Carter Park is the best for Summit Countys locals for many reasons and not just because its their popular dog park. Breckenridge Park on High Street is the ideal place to have your picnic before playing your favorite sports and just right for running or exercise. The park has the perfect spot for all " both the young and the old.

Top Rated Golf Course: The municipal, 27-hole Golf Course designed by Jack Nicklaus in Breckenridge is Summit Countys best for various reasons. Located at 9,234 feet from sea level, it offers the uncommon experience of high-altitude golfing while enjoying the magnificent view of the mountains. You need not depend on the locals judgment that Breckenridge Golf Course could be your greatest challenge yet considering that the Colorado Golfer magazine named it the Toughest Mountain Course.

You should realize that this is just a partial list of the bests that Breckenridge offers its visitors. When you plan to visit Summit County, contact one of the best in offering the ideal accommodations for you - Breckenridge vacation rentals. You cannot go wrong when you go with the best.

However, do not just rely on my list. After visiting Breckenridge you may have a longer list of bests.
