Breckenridge is a small city in Summit County in Colorado, USA. This city, with an area of approximately 13 sq km, houses a population of around 3,000 residents. The city was founded 1859 as a mining town; later, the town flourished with the discovery of gold.
The topography of Breckenridge is a diverse mix of lakes, jungles, mountains, geothermal springs and beautiful valleys. River Blue, Lake Dillon and the Rocky Mountains are some of the most important geographical landmarks in the city.
Blessed with a high-alpine climate, summers in Breckenridge are nice and warm and winters, freezing cold. It is not unusual for temperatures to fall to as low as –17°C during winters. Home to some of the most popular ski resorts, this city’s economy is primarily dependent on the tourism industry as gold mining has been prohibited in the city. The real estate business has also been doing very well lately.
