Before going on vacation, most people try to lose a few pounds, but usually all of that lost weight is gained back when reaching a destination to find loads of restaurants and bars, but no physical activities. In this sense, Breckenridge, Colorado, is anything but your normal vacation spot. While the town does have some award winning cuisine and plenty of night life, this vacation spot bustles during the daytime hours.
