Hiking Peak OneThis hike is quite strenuous and requires skill and dedication to make it to the top. To begin the hike, I like to park at the Park and Ride off the I-70 Frisco Main Street exit. Begin heading toward Breckenridge on the paved bike path and look to the right for a trail head heading to Mt. Royal (about a 10 minute walk). Begin climbing up to Mt. Royal and the old mining town of Masonville. Continue up the trail past old mining ruins and switchbacks. The last stretch to Mt. Royal is quite steep. If you wish stop and admire the view of Officers Gulch and the town of Frisco on top of Mt. Royal turn right at the intersection. However, if your goal is Peak one continue on the upwards path. Next you will come across a radio tower on top of Victoria Peak. From here you will see the summit of peak one but you are only about half-way to the summit. From this point the trail gets a bit hazardous so use extreme caution and avoid large snowfields if possible. Once the summit is reached, however, you will be rewarded with impeccable views.
