Breckenridge allows uphill access in the mornings, from 6am to resort opening time (typically 8:30). This route on Peak 8 earns a respectable 2200 feet of vertical if you take it to the top, with the last several hundred feet on the steep and often icy Pika trail. The endpoint is above Horseshoe Bowl, on the shoulder of Peak 8 and way above the treeline. It’s an epic spot to stand as sunrise hits the Tenmile Range.
