Top Breckenridge Nature and Wildlife Tours

Follow in the footsteps of Colorado's early fortune seekers on an interactive tour of the only real open mine in Breckenridge. Descend more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) underground to explore historic gold mining tunnels and even slide down an ore chute. Out in the light of day, try your hand at panning for gold in the river, and say hello to resident burros during the summer months.

Enjoy the gorgeous scenery of the Colorado River with light paddling work on this relaxing river float tour. Raft down the gentle currents and a few minor rapids as the river winds though mountain ranchland, historic mining cabins, and the painted cliffs of the Gore Range. Stop to swim and sunbathe along the way, or add some more excitement with a optional cliff jumping on this scenic rafting voyage.

For a true off-road adventure in Grand County, rent a rugged UTV that will allow you to explore more than 200 miles of backcountry trails independently. Even tougher than an ATV, these custom, side-by-side utility terrain vehicles allow you to access back roads and stunning mountain vistas that other vehicles can't get to. Your rental lasts an entire day, allowing plenty of time to explore the Colorado River headwaters region.
