It almost goes without saying that Summit County offers the best in downhill and cross-country skiing as well as snowboarding at its many ski resorts. There's more than just countless opportunities for winter adventures. Go sailing on Lake Dillon or shop in more than fifty Silverthorne Factory Outlet Stores. Rent a mountain bike in Frisco and enjoy extensive Summit County bike path system of 47 trails! Four 14ers (mountain peaks 14,000' and higher in elevation) can be climbed nearby. Boating and fishing are popular at Green Mountain Reservoir by Heeney, 20 miles north of I-70. Montezuma, above Keystone, is the only town (we know of) where the pavement ends when it reaches town. Locals describe it as "6 miles and 100 years from Keystone" and will tell you why "winters are why we come, summers are why we stay."
Breckenridge, a National Historic District designation, has restored, gingerbread Victorian houses lining its streets. Set amidst mountain splendor and the Continental Divide for a backdrop, this former mining town was established in an 1859 gold rush - the first permanent settlement on Colorado's Western Slope. Named in honor of Vice President John C. Breckenridge (in order to get a post office more easily). In addition to the diverse terrain on the ski resort's three mountains, Breckenridge, at an elevation of 9,603', has the only Jack Nicklaus-designed municipal golf course, renown musical organizations, and miles of hiking trails. Be sure to check out the human maze at Peak 8 - a fun place to get lost! Surrounded by Arapaho National Forest, the city has fishing on the Upper Blue River or the nearby Mohawk Lakes.
Summit County is home to the richest ski area in Colorado. The area boasts four top ski areas, including Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge Ski Resort, Copper Mountain Ski Resort and Keystone Ski Resort.
