- Breckenridge
At 9,600 ft elevation and far away from the stress of the big city
life is the 136 year old town of Breckenridge. The lure of gold and quick
riches brought the first settlers to this high mountain valley. Founded in
1859 as a mining camp along the banks of the Blue River, Breckenridge has
experienced a rich history of boom and bust. The new 'gold rush' started in
the 1960's with the introduction of alpine skiing to Breckenridge. Breckenridge
Ski Resort is now known around the world as a world-class ski resort.
