The Peaks trail is one of the most well-known mountain biking trails in Summit county, but it's a good hike as well.
There are some great big mountain views at the halfway point of the hike, and it's long enough with a bit of climbing to make it feel like a huge journey out and back.
You can also shuttle to the Breckenridge Peaks trailhead.
This is a busy trail with both mountain bike and run/hike traffic. It is great in either direction, so start in either Breckenridge or Frisco. You can also access Miner's creek trail and hike to Copper mountain.
Rainbow lake is under a mile from the start of the start, and it's a scenic spot to regroup and hang out for a bit.
Just a bit more up and down over the last mile - nothing too steep, and you'll pop out near Peak 7 at Breck.
