Keystone, CO

Keystone is a high-country mountain town in Summit County, Colorado, tucked along the Snake River just east of Dillon Reservoir. Famous for Keystone Resort and its extensive ski terrain, the community officially incorporated as its own town in 2024 to give full-time residents more control over local services and future planning. Living here means having hiking trails, pine forests, and ski lifts right outside your door, fostering a close-knit community of outdoor lovers and resort workers who thrive at 9,000 feet.
