Nearby winter fun includes snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sledding & tubing hills, mountain coaster rides, cross-country skiing, kid-friendly snow forts and ice sculptures.

Hike & Bike the Rockies

Hop on the Lower Blue Recpath, which connects directly to our neighborhood sidewalk. This scenic trail follows the Blue River to Lake Dillon, links to the Dillon Reservoir Recpath, and offers access to paths to Breckenridge and Vail! Dozens of other hiking (or snowshoeing in the winter) trails are a short drive away.

World-Class Fishing

Fish the Blue River, a designated Colorado Gold Medal Water with trophy trout, or Lake Dillon, the only place in the lower 48 that’s home to the arctic char. Ask us about our favorite fishing guide, Amy Duncan. In the summer she’ll take you out on a pontoon fishing boat on Lake Dillon, and in the winter she’ll invite you into her cozy, heated tent, to fish rainbow, brown, kokanee salmon & arctic char.

Golf in the High Country

Summit County offers six beautiful golf courses and at this altitude, even average swings feel heroic. Your ball (and your bragging rights) will fly higher.

Life on Lake Dillon

Just minutes away, summertime Lake Dillon offers sailing & paddleboarding, guided fishing trips (ask me about our fave guide, Amy Duncan and her pontoon fishing boat!), shore fishing & beach picnics, charter boat rentals, and live music at the Dillon Amphitheater. In the winter, enjoy ice fishing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing on the groomed path.
