About Fairplay
Sitting at nearly 10,000 feet in Colorado's wide-open South Park basin, Fairplay pairs authentic Old West charm with easy access to the Rockies. The historic Front Street features South Park City, a walk-through 1880s mining museum, while the quirky summer Burro Days festival fills the streets with pack-burro races and lively crowds. Located at the intersection of US 285 and Highway 9, you are only a short drive over Hoosier Pass to Breckenridge or a straightforward trip into Denver. It is a peaceful, practical spot for anyone wanting genuine small-town mountain living.
