This isn't much of a trail as much as a road. It's fun because it intertwines with the ski lifts and gives awesome views of Breckenridge very quickly. I would definitely recommend it if you have a quick bit of time.

Entrance is behind the Beaver Run parking lot, on the way to "Breckenridge Stables".

We stopped going up because we were solo. Here the trail goes on:

Apparently there is a weather station at the top of Peak 10. In the summer, this would be an easy drive to great views.

If you look closely at my picture, you can see a group of people at the top of the snow with skis and snowboards hiking up.

Tried last evening 7/8/14... Not much has melted off. Fun place!

I never realized you could wander around so much on that mountain in the summer.

Stock new body style pathfinder followed us up within a 100 yards of the snow bank. Nice wide trails and I cannot comment enough on how cool it is to check out the place when the snow is missing.

In this pic... you would normally just ski up to those signs and at times, the bottom of your boots are at the bottom of those signs.
