Boreas Pass – Bakers Tank - Breckenridge, Colorado

Boreas Pass – Bakers Tank In the summer months, this dirt road is full of people, but for a good reason. The Bakers Tank single track is a great easy-to-moderate ride that is perfect for a short day with the family. This road was the path of the abandoned narrow gauge rail bed to scenic views and historic remains. For some not wanting to ride on the road, you can drive up Boreas Pass Road (last light out of town, pass the Breckenridge Ice Rink on the left). Continue on this road till you come to a parking area and dirt road. You can begin your ride there, however, I prefer to park at the Breckenridge Ice Rink and climb up Boreas Pass Road, take a right on the dirt road cut off, and arriving at the parking lot. This is an excellent road for a novice in the sport of mountain biking, for it is wide and the views are incredible. The ride passes beautiful aspen groves and is my favorite ride when the leaves begin to change. The road continues up to an old water tank on the left hand side. Wishing to bike Bakers Tank, take the dirt road to the left of the tank and follow it to a single track to the left. You will continue on rolling hills until junction in the road. If you head straight you will end up on Baldy Mountain Road. But to continue the loop head left. This trail glides through the forest back to your car if you parked in the parking area. If parked by the Ice Rink, look for a dirt road that heads down from the parking lot. From there you can connect to the remaining part of the trail. This section is great as you pass historic mining relics and decent down old mining tailings. The trail will spit you out on the first tight corner of Boreas Pass Road and a ½ mile from the Ice rink.
