Picture the towering Rocky Mountains as backdrop to historical
Old West towns; think about the recreational opportunities offered
by eight downhill and cross country ski centers, two lakes, three
golf courses and thousands of acres of backcountry forests; imagine
that it's all connected by a free and convenient transportation system.
This is Summit County... a cohesive community, with many
distinctive parts, that offers visitors the world over a slice of Colorado
heaven. Just about an hour's drive west of Denver, Summit County is
surrounded by the breathtaking Gore and Ten Mile mountain ranges that peak
at up to 14,000 feet in elevation. At the heart of the Summit lies the
shimmering Lake Dillon, the county's crown jewel with its 25 miles of
picturesque shoreline.
The natural landscape of Summit County contributes amazing
views and an endless array of outdoor activities to the area, while the
communities within the county - each of which lends its own unique
personality and remarkable history to the picture - add in every amenity
you could possibly desire, from shopping, to dining, to activities, special
events and historical tours.
So whatever you have in mind for the perfect winter or summer
mountain vacation, Summit County has just what you're looking for!
