    Boreas Pass Road and Hike

    I went to Boreas Pass Road and hiked the snow packed trail for about two miles. The views of Breckenridge and the surrounding peaks is magnificent. I was there during the late afternoon and sunset, and will return someday to get photos during sunrise.

    Beautiful, especially in Fall

    Drive over this pass in the Fall, if possible! It is a fabulous drive from Breckenridge to the old town of Como; viewing of the aspen colors is really quite something. In summer, there are also some good hiking trails along the way.

    Boreas Pass is a beautiful in Spring, Summer and Fall

    Boreas Pass is an old mining road, with plenty of history and scenic views, well worth the drive. Don't forget your camera!

    4-wheel drive needed during snowfalls

    We had a rental car with just front-wheel drive. This road (during snowfall) requires a 4-wheel drive. We failed to make it up the pass TWICE during our stay...ended up parking our car and renting an Uber.

    What TomAB9 said. I would only add that the road gets narrow at times for two cars to pass and so you might use some caution when approaching vehicles in the opposit direction.
