Beautiful Alma Home: MTN Views: Close to Breck!

The home, 2 Mile High, is located in picturesque Placer valley, @10,600ft which is 2 miles high and 2 miles from the mountain town of Alma. It has 3 bedrooms 2 with King beds and one with 2 single beds. It is 1 mile from fishing at the Columbia reservoir on the Middle Fork of the South Platte River. 5 miles from The Montgomery reservoir, 17 miles from the world-famous ski resort of Breckenridge, and 31 miles from the Keystone ski resort.

For hikers, the Kite lake trail head is only 8 miles away. From here you can do the DeCaLiBron Loop which is a popular, strenuous 7–7.5 mile Colorado hiking route (approx. 3,500 ft elevation gain) that summits four 14,000-foot peaks—Democrat, Cameron, Lincoln, and Brons (Bross)—in one day. It typically takes 6–8 hours, and requires navigating steep, rocky terrain.

For Skiers, I recommend driving 17 miles to the free parking at the Ice rink lot in Breckenridge. Turn right at the first lights, Boreas Pass, in Breckenridge. The car park is 0.3 miles up Boreas Pass on the right. From there take the free bus, Brown Route, to the Beaver Creek lift, at the base of peak 9, which is just across the road from where the bus can drop you. This involves hardly any walking in ski boots. The drive is 27 min (google maps) on a clear day. This saves money on parking and time messing with the gondola, and you can be on the mountain within 45min after leaving the house!
