BOREAS PASS- CLOSE TO BRECK YET A DIFFERENT SCENE ALTOGETHER
Having moved our last load from Steamboat to Summit Thursday night, we were still unpacking and getting settled once the weekend rolled around. I had thought of heading over to Leadville to pace a friend in the Trail Run 100 but never heard back. We wanted to get out of the house as the work was endless but did not desire to drive a long way and had to be back in 24 hours to resume house work, interview tenants and meet with an electrician. Not to worry, though, as there are countless opportunities in the Breck area to travel a short distance, yet feel like you've left the domestic life at home. Such a place is Boreas Pass, just 15 minutes drive from downtown.
We packed up camping gear, bikes and Acacia (family dog) and headed through the soon-to-change Aspens on the old railroad, which provides some of the best views (read: tourist hangouts) in the area.
