Frisco cabins

Located at just above 9,000-feet elevation, 20 minutes north of Breckeridge, the small town of Frisco features an array of quintessential Colorado outdoor fun. Though it’s well known for its world-class skiing and snowboarding, Frisco also boasts scenic hiking and biking trails, a skate park, and plenty of water-based activities, including fishing, paddleboarding, and kayaking. The rugged Rocky Mountains and nearby Lake Dillon set the scene for all of Frisco’s top-notch outdoor recreation year-round.

Downtown Frisco, known locally as Main Street of the Rockies, spans a little under two square miles and is dotted with colorful buildings housing clothing boutiques, local eateries and restaurants, gift shops, and more. A former mining settlement during the Colorado Silver Boom, the history of Frisco remains a prevalent part of the area’s heritage. Stop by the Frisco Historic Park and Museum to learn more about the town’s fascinating past.

Fall in Frisco brings the crisp autumn air, brilliant fall colors, and the famous aspen trees that cast a golden glow throughout the stunning landscapes. The three-mile hike at Rainbow Lake leads to an alpine lake with spectacular views of the aspen groves that illuminate the trail. The Boreas Pass Road leads to the well-known Golden Tunnel, an archway created by aspens, which dazzles in brilliant shades of orange and yellow during the autumn months.

In winter, Frisco transforms into a winter paradise as the powder-fresh snow blankets the trees and mountaintops. The season also provides a retreat for winter sports lovers as the fresh snowfall creates exceptional conditions for ice-fishing on Lake Dillon and skiing and snowboarding at some of the world’s most popular ski resorts. Frisco experiences balmy weather through the spring and summer months, creating excellent conditions for hiking, biking, and various water-based activities.
