Leave Fido at home for this one, because while most of the Breckenridge hiking trails are pet friendly, preserving nature and its inhabitants is the first priority in this area. And maybe you’ll bear witness to exactly why. Beavers, elk, an endangered toad, and 47 different species of birds hang out here. See how many you can spot.

*Easy Hike* The trail meanders through meadows, by streams and ponds, and through forest offering a range of wildflower habitats. There is little elevation gain over 2.9 miles making it an excellent beginner hike or first day at elevation hike. You are also likely to see moose and other wildlife along the way. Get there: Take bus route to Breck Station (last stop @ Gondola). Ride the free Gondola to the 2nd station (Crystal Peak Lodge). Walk on backside of buildings where the Independence SuperChair is located. Follow the hill up shortly next to Grand Lodge on Peak 7 & catch trail (Peaks Connect) on the right through skinny trees which leads back down to Ski Hill Road. There is an information board & some parking along road. Cross over road to the east, and pick up ‘Morning Glory’. Trail leads through the nature preserve & back under the gondola to the south side of preserve. Follow trail 2 miles until you reach ‘Josie’s Cabin’ under the gondola at the 1st station. 2 choices: Climb up & ride the gondola either back up or back down. OR pick up the lower ‘Pence Miller’ trail (2 miles) from ‘Josie’s Cabin’ which will take you to the Town Overlook & eventually all the way down to the ’Gondola Ski Back-Parking Lot Access’. There are some stairs & a tunnel that leads under N. Park Ave and back to the Breck Station). The Gondola opens @ 9am during the summer & is free to ride. Hike is mostly downhill, with some short uphills. (Trail can also be hiked in the opposite direction, but will be mostly uphill.) Please be respectful and stay on open trails & keep voices down as Moose/Dear/Beavers can be spotted throughout the Preserve. Bring bug spray as the mosquitoes may be out as a lot of the preserve is marshlands. Our family has hiked both the short (with grandparents) & long version of this trail (with kids). We can highly recommend!
