Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Living in the mountains I have to start with this wonderful tour of Rocky Mountain National Park. This park is about 2-3 hours driving time from Breckenridge CO, depending on which route you take (via Kremling is shorter, via Estes Park is longer). But good news, you can do it all from your home now.
Rocky Mountain National Park in northern Colorado traverses the Continental Divide and embraces protected mountains, forests, and alpine tundra.
Enjoy the mountain, lakes and river views. Stop at Longs Peak, East Longs Peak Trail, Chasm Lake, Many Parks Curve Overlook, Rainbow Curve Overlook, Forest Canyon Overlook, Lava Cliffs Overlook, Alpine Visitor Center, Medicine Bow Curve, Milner Pass, Farview Curve Viewpoint.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Colorado
Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is about 4 hours away and you need to head South towards Hoosier Pass where eventually you will get to HWY 285 towards Buena Vista. Total trip about 200 miles, but again forget about the driving (although it is scenic) and sit comfortably to enjoy this tour.
Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is in western Colorado. It encompasses part of a deep, long and steep gorge that carves Precambrian rock, which sits on the banks of the Gunnison River.
Stop at Rim Rock Trail, South Rim Visitor Center, Gunnison Point, Chasm View, Painted Wall View, Cedar Point Nature Trail, Sunset View, Chasm View Nature Trail, Kneeling Camel View.

Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado
Mesa Verde National Park is about 6.5 hours driving time from Breckenridge Co. You will head south, the same as towards Balck Canyon Park, but instead of turning to Buena Vista, you will continue to go past Salida and so on.
Mesa Verde National Park is in southwest Colorado. It’s best known for its huge Cliff Palace and very well-conserved residences of Ancestral Puebloan.
For now don’t worry about the far trip, because you are just a click away from exploring the following stops:
Navajo Canyon View, Square Tower House, Sun Point View, Oak Tree House, Sun Temple, Chapin Mesa Archaeological Museum, Petroglyph Point Trail, Spruce Tree House, Pithouse.

Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado
Great Sand Dunes National Park is located about 3 hours away from Breckenridge CO and you head south all the way to it. Unfortunately, there is no virtual tour of this park but I invite you to watch this great video.
Great Sand Dunes National Park is in southern Colorado. The most majestic part about the park are the huge dunes and the beach at the base of the dunes (TIP! You can skate the dunes). Trails at this park will take you to wetlands, alpine lakes, and beautiful forests.
