Frisco, Colorado Mountain Activities & Recreation

Frisco, being an unassuming historical town tucked away just off I-70, is a gold mine in terms of recreation central. Boating or fly fishing in nearby Dillon Reservoir, hiking and spectacular camping spots in summer; snowboarding and skiing the 7 nearby resorts, snowmobiling groomed terrain a short drive away and ice fishing come winter – who could ask for more?

The crowds pack I-70 when the snow flies and it’s yet another powder day in the mountains. If you want to avoid overbooked hotels and crazy streets filled with tourists, then Frisco is the place to plan your winter recreation base. Within a short drive to 7 major ski resorts, hundreds of acres of groomed snowmobile terrain, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing and ice skating, winter holds more adventure than you can squeeze into just one trip.

When the snows melt off the mountains, the rivers rage and the kayakers and rafters rejoice. Come experience some of the best whitewater rafting in the State on the Blue River, or fly fish the Colorado River. Boat or fish the Dillon Reservoir, camp in spectacular wilderness, or take a scenic drive through mountain passes that will take your breath away. Fall is a peak time to come experience the colors of the aspens changing and Frisco is a great hub from which to plan your trips. Horseback riding, mountain biking, skateboarding in the skate park in town, or just plain taking in the views – there’s more to do in Frisco than you’ll have time for this summer.
