Maps
Tucked into the base of the Ten Mile Range, the small historic mountain
town of Frisco (said to derive from San Francisco) was established
as a gold
and silver mining camp in 1873. On the edge of Lake Dillon, Frisco
is surrounded by the shores of Lake Dillon, High Mountains, and
the Arapahoe National Forest. Frisco is very close
to Copper Mountain Resort. Three other ski areas are close by in
Summit
County
(A Basin, Keystone and Breckenridge) and three others are less
than an
hour drive (Vail, Beaver Creek and Loveland). The Town
of Frisco offices are located on One Main Street.
Look for the
bell atop Frisco's Schoolhouse Museum.
