More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from the La Cima Mall and the town loosens its grip: Main Street shops recede, the hum of the highway softens, and the Blue River dares you forward. The paved Blue River Recreation Path threads through aspen stands and meadows, and the Tenmile Range watches like an old route-marker. Clouds drift across Lake Dillon and the water returns the favor with bright, shifting reflections.

The Blue River corridor follows routes used during the 19th-century mining boom; towns like Breckenridge and Frisco evolved from mining supply hubs into modern outdoor destinations.
Conservation
Stay on paved corridors and avoid trampling shoreline vegetation; Summit County emphasizes Leave No Trace and supports trail maintenance through local user fees and volunteer programs.
