Frisco-Dillon Colorado Travel Information
Nestled near the continental divide at the top of the Rockies, the
Frisco-Dillon region is a paradise for skiers and snowboarders. With
close to ten ski areas within an hour's drive (among them Vail, Breckenridge, and Keystone), mountain lovers will find no
lack of slopes to entertain them. Frisco and Dillon, with Silverthorne
in between them, stretch along the shore of the Dillon Reservoir to
make a tiny, scenic metro area snuggled high among the peaks of the
Rockies. The Frisco-Dillon area has expanded rapidly in the past
few decades to provide services for millions of tourists visiting the
region each year. As a result, this once sleepy mining town is today
overflowing with restaurants, bookstores, hotels, name brand shopping
outlets, and other amenities. The town has not forgotten its origins,
however, as several buildings from the mining era have been relocated
and preserved in the Frisco Historic Park. The Frisco-Dillon area
is in north central Colorado along I-70, about 70 miles west of Denver.
