No trip to the mountains is complete without seeing a bit of the local flora and fauna. From alpine birds to ground-dwellers like prairie dogs, Colorado is overflowing with animal species to discover on your next visit, and no place will you find better opportunities to view that wildlife than in the mountains of Breckenridge. Home to recreation all year round, Breck is also filled with majestic and serene wildlife that will help you forget your cares.

Not too long ago, Park City was a small ranching community that was filled with endless native species of foxes, bears, coyotes, elk, moose, eagles, and deer that roamed where they pleased. And although people have moved into the area in droves over the last few decades, the legacy of that wildlife still remains, especially in preservation and conservation areas dotted around this mountain town.
