Breckenridge Colorado, Tiger Run

Today we drove south from Estes Park via Colorado 7, to Colorado 72, to Colorado 119 and then West on US6 to I70West driving through the Eisnehower Tunnel on I70 then to exit 203 driving through Frisco to arrive at Tiger Run RV Resort near Breckenridge. It was a very scenic drive driving in the mountains of Colorado on 2 lane roads.

Tiger Run RV Resort is a wonderfully landscaped and paved resort and of course expensive. Large lots, no dust, smooth roads, level sites, real grass for the dog, etc. Due to the high cost we usually dont stay at places like this but its off season now so our daily rate is $54 instead of $74. For our size motorhome, the only option is the back in sites so this is really not an over nite only kind of place to stay if you dont want to disconnect. The pull throughs are too short.

Our only complaint here is water pressure is a meager 36 psi and I estimate only about 2 gallons per minute, so we decided to fill our onboard water tank and then use our on board water pump which delivers 65 psi. Fortunately prior to starting our trip in June 2010, I had just changed out the original noisey oem water pump which was only 45 psi at 2.8 gallons per minute with a quieter Aquajet ES pump which is rated at 65 psi at 3.5 gallons per minute water pump.

There are a lot of people here in the general area of Dillon, Frisco and Breckenridge during the summer due to the weather and the variety of things to do. There are miles of paved bike lanes separated from the main road, Colorado 9, that runs from Frisco to Breckenridge. Dillion Reservoir is nearby and because this area is typically windy there are hundreds of sail boats that are docked here during the summer. Average size appears to be around 30 feet. Lots of sail boats out on the water during the weekend.

More later.



This is from when we were leaving and we were hooking up the car. You would also use this area to disconnect when you arrive.
