Scenes from Breckenridge Oktoberfest

September 27, 2012 By Heather Blackmon

.

If you follow me on instagram (and you should!), you’ve seen some fun photos from Oktobefest in Colorado. We’ve been to two events already: one in Breckenridge and one here in Highlands Ranch. There was really no competition between the two, Breckenridge has got to be the perfect location!

Fall in Breckenridge

I know it’s not Fall many places, but the color on the trees says it’s really Fall here! We met a few friends work and enjoyed the beautiful day. Believe it or not, we started with wine. Toasted Head had a tent where they offered free tasting – and free is right up my alley!

Toasted Head Wine

We were able to sample two whites and two reds:

  • Untamed White
  • Chardonnay
  • Untamed Red
  • Cabernet Savignon

None of the 4 were anything to write about, but they were all easy drinking and would make decent everyday wines.

We went from wines to the real reason we were there – BEER! The festival was obviously sponsored by Paulaner, as their beers were the only available. Their Paulaner Oktoberfest & Oktoberfest Weisn were both pretty good and was perfect in our big beer stein.

Did I mention we dressed up in our awesome Oktoberfest outfits? You too can be this cool – we got these costumes last year on BuyCostumes.com and they are not too expensive.

I even won a chicken hat from doing the Chicken Dance!

We ended our day by relaxing by the stream, a peaceful retreat from the business on Main St. Can you believe how gorgeous this setting is?!

There seems to be an Oktoberfest event near us for several more weekends, but we haven’t made any firm plans for others at this point. We’ll see how the weekends unfold!

Questions for you:

  • Any Oktoberfest planned for this year?
  • When was the last time you were silly enough to dress up for a non-Halloween event?

Welcome

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
