Things To Do
Washington Park
The crown jewel of the Denver Park system! Sarah and Brien live just a few blocks off the park & love running there with Ollie, playing summer volleyball, and even cross-country skiing through the park in the winter!
Outer Range Brewing Company
A great brewery right in Frisco with wonderful outdoor seating available in warm yurts on the patio! Great IPAs and great views are always available here!
Blue Moon Bakery
Sarah and Brien's favorite bakery! Lots of sweet treats, bagels and more. Don't miss the 7 Layer Bar!
Bread+Salt
Sarah's parents love this restaurant for breakfast or lunch on Main Street in Frisco!
Hike Lily Pad Lake Trail
This is one of Sarah and Brien's favorite hikes to take visitors on. Please note, it's 3.3 miles on uneven terrain with 400 ft elevation gain, so it is a little more than just a walk in the park! We recommend downloading the AllTrails app and searching "Lily Pad Lake Trail" to get the exact directions and information.
Hike Copper Mountain!
Hike around Copper Mountain to take in the great views!
Walk the Ten Mile Recreational Pathway
You can take a pedestrian/bike only path that stretches from Frisco, past Copper Mountain, and connects to other trails in the area as part of the Summit County Recreational Pathway System. This is a popular paved trail that is used for walking, running, and various other non-motorized activities by folks in Summit County -- a great way to see the mountains!
Dillon Reservoir
Check out the Dillon Reservoir and the surrounding views, including Quandary Peak, Tenderfoot Mountain, Swan Mountain, and Bald Mountain to the south along the Continental Divide! Some of Sarah & Brien's favorite natural views out in Summit County!
Copper Creek Golf Course
Get a round in at Copper Mountain on the public course right at the base of the mountain! There are great views of the rest of the Ten Mile range as well as Copper itself, and you can enjoy the affordable course before it closes for the reason in October.
Main Street in Frisco
Check out the center of downtown Frisco and all the cool shops and restaurants! A quintessential mountain town close by Copper where you can't go wrong with where you stop.
