Blue River

Blue River is best known in Colorado for the upper Blue River, a tributary of the Colorado River that runs through this high Summit County valley. The small statutory town lies south of Breckenridge, between forested slopes of White River National Forest and Colorado Highway 9, the route toward Hoosier Pass on the Continental Divide. Breckenridge began as an 1859 gold-rush settlement and is now the nearest centre for ski areas, museums and dining, while Blue River remains primarily residential. Its river corridor and surrounding public lands shape a local life of fishing, hiking and mountain travel. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Blue River and Summit County.
