Frisco, CO

Sitting right along the shores of Dillon Reservoir, Frisco is often called the "Main Street of the Rockies," and it easily lives up to the nickname. Home to around 3,000 residents, this Summit County town strikes a great balance between an authentic year-round community and a classic mountain getaway.
