sTrolling around Breck

by

Looking for a quick hike with some beautiful Mountain View’s and maybe even . . . a life size troll?  Well then, we have just the hike for you.   Get your family and friends together and go sTrolling around Breckenridge and head towards the Wellington Trail.  With a little luck you just might find Isak Heartstone, the friendly neighborhood troll.

Isak Heartstone sits by the forest deep in thought.

Isak Heartstone was built for the Breckenridge International Festival of Arts , which lasts for 9 days in locations all over Breck.  There is still two days left for the actual festival but Isak Heartstone is here to stay. . . at least for a few years.  Check out the link above for more information about the artist and his inspiration for creating Isak.

The troll has been a popular destination during the middle of the day so pick a good time to explore .  If you wanted to get some photos while no one is around try going early in the morning or just before sunset for the most personable experience.

For easy access park at the Wellington Bike Park lot. From there the trail is just a few hundred feet from the parking lot. Start going up the dirt road and it is your first little trail on the left.  From here it’s just a 10 minute walk up to where the troll hides.  If the troll wasn’t enough be sure to keep hiking up the trail.  These same trails will lead you to some old mines and much more.

 

Have fun out there and be sure to check out all the other amazing art installations built for the festival!  If you need a ride to or from the Summit County make sure to give us a call at 970-668-6000

Back pack, blanket and wheels…check, check and check!

Kick Push: A Roll in Movie Night

Catch the outdoor feature at the Riverwalk Center lawn in Breckenridge today 8/14 at 8:30 PM.   Kick Push: A Roll in Movie Night is aptly named for at least 2 reasons; first, it’s a film about wheels and the inspiring people who push their limits.  Second, the movie is showing in the park and the best way to get there is ON WHEELZ 😉 .   BreckFilmFest is teaming up with Breckenridge International Festival of Arts /BIFA to get this show to you FREE of charge!  You can thank them by visiting their websites and seeing what else they have going on and how you may contribute.

If you’re not already hooked up with manual transportation get over to Alpine Sports and rent some.  There are great summer rental discounts so no need to buy new.  But, if buying new makes better sense for you hit up Sun & Ski in Dillon.  Summit county is an ideal place for a bike or skateboard; these small mountain towns are close to each other and the trails that wind throughout are amazing!  Most of our main roads have a bike lane reserved for you.  I could go on and on about the bike trails but it’ll be better for you to just get on ’em.  Click here for lots of trail maps and other helpful info.

Silverthorne’s Rainbow Park has a great skate park, so does Frisco.  Copper Mountain boasts the only indoor skate park.  Breckenridge has the first one laid down in Summit.

Well, layer up ladies and gents cuz it’s chilly after the sun sets.  Cozy up with friends, family and perfect strangers for an exciting look into the world of wheels (sans motor).

  • Tree-O is a 3 person band that plays while perched in the birch.  See when they play here.
  • Concrete Jams showcases skateboarding to jazz.  Bring your nieces and nephews- you’ll have something to talk about for months… “Remember that rad jazz skater?!”
