Frisco, Colorado

Summit County's Main Street town — where the locals actually go to dinner

Home Destinations Summit County Resorts Frisco

Frisco calls itself the 'Main Street of the Rockies,' and for once a chamber of commerce tagline holds up. The town's three-block historic Main Street has more personality per square foot than most mountain towns ten times its size — independent bookshops, taco joints, gear stores, and coffee shops that haven't been replaced by chains. Frisco sits at the western edge of Dillon Reservoir, equidistant from all four Summit County ski areas, and has become the preferred home base for travelers who want mountain town character without resort-village prices. The Frisco Adventure Park offers tubing, Nordic skiing, and a beginner ski hill right in town.
