1 SUMMIT COUNTY GETAWAY: BRECKENRIDGE, SILVERTHORNE, FRISCO, DILLON, KEYSTONE & COPPER MOUNTAIN COLORADO Appropriately named “Colorado’s Playground,” Summit County is an easy day trip from Denver and the Front Range. The area is hugged by three mountain ranges and presents enough activities to satisfy anyone itching to get out and go. DAY 1 FROM TOP: LAKE DILLON, LISA SEAMAN; FRISCO BIKE PARK, TODD POWELL. Start the day scoring deals at more than 50 name-brand stores, including J. Crew, Banana Republic and Coach, at the Outlets at Silverthorne . Counter your shopping with a trip down to the water. Silverthorne’s Blue River Trail (6) runs parallel to the outlet shops and provides access to the river’s Gold Medal trout-filled waters and scenic walkway. Watch how far your ball flies through the thin mountain air while teeing off at one of Keystone’s two 18-hole champi-onship courses, Keystone Ranch and the River Course at Keystone (5) , before heading west to Frisco for an afternoon on Dillon Reservoir (1) , where you can rent canoes, kayaks, pontoon boats and paddle boats and explore the dozen or so islands sprinkled throughout. The Frisco Bay Ma-rina now rents the Hobie Eclipse paddle boards (with handlebars and stair-step pedals). After exploring the 25 miles of shoreline, stop off at the Peninsula Recreation Area for a round of disc golf and loads of picnic sites perfect for spreading out with lunch from one of charming Main Street’s tempting delis, breweries 2 QUICK TIP The Cheese Shop of Breckenridge is the spot to pick up all the fixins for a picnic — cheese, cured meats, chocolates and other yummy bits and pieces — and nearly any outside space is the perfect spot to eat it.
