Trail going through the golf course, and national forest to connect to the Flume Trail, and then connect to the Soda Ridge and Aquaduct Trails.

Challenging starting section of uphill, but lots of families and older folks. There is a cut off trail to Lily Pad lake, but we stayed on Meadow Creek Trail. Went up a ways and had to turn back for time constraints.

When camped at Heaton Bay, boat can be shored very near your site. We are about 150 yards from our camp. Launch and store from small sand beaches. Today has been rainy and cloudy, with a few windows of sunshine. But the fishing has been fair. So worth having layers on. And rain gear. Great day on the lake for father's day!

Great climb for a green, or really fast downhill.

For some reason after biking as far as i could, I thought I could hike the ridge covered in snow and the other side of the trail would be better. This was a huge mistake and turned into a grudge match between mother nature and I. I started downhill through snow covered downed trees carrying my bike. At one point caught my ankle and slowly flipped over my bike hanging upside down from my ankle. Note to self- turn around when there was obviously too much snow at the top of the ridge. Continue on and pedal through pain to miraculously make it home before total exhaustion. Bloody, beaten up, bruised but never quit. Made a bad decision and had no choice but to get myself out. Learned a good hard lesson yesterday. This trail in the summer is amazing- but wait until SUMMER

This beautiful stretch has lots of views, cliffs with large homes on top, the Dillon Amphitheater, which is currently being renovated, and lots of lake. Great for almost any size boats, sailboat, Paddle board, kayak, temps stay chilly for most water sports but wetsuits in the middle of summer are an option. And I've seen diving clinics and training going on as well. Fishing and birdwatching, bike path that surrounds the lake. Campgrounds as well. Lots of recreation options!

Loop of trails on Summit County Open Space and Trails, connects to Soda Creek Trail.

Rec Path to connector, through underpass, and to tenderfoot open space trails.

Our bday pontoon on Lake Dillon, went to pirates cove and back to Dillon marina!

Easy trail behind the school, through summit cove, next to the stream

Starting at the trail head across from the Elementary school, heading back on Soda Ridge to Soda Creek and back on the Ranch Road. Then back down to Summit Cove and Vail Circle. Great quick ride to start the day, finish the day, or just get a pedal in quick.

Paddle around the big island to the small islet and around back to the Frisco marina.

Challenging loop until the very end. The right at groovie uvi got me on a different trail than normal. A single track that has not been maintained much at all, may be an old trail for some of it? But only 2 down trees to cross. Lots of tight trees, maneuvering and handlebar skills challenged, leads to a large grassy meadow which could be muddy during some seasons. Then onto the rec path and back on to road, to the start.

The Mesa Cortina Trail begins in Silverthorne and travels through aspens and meadows into the Eagles Nest Wilderness Area.

Quick ride over to a friends place at Corinthian Hills, from Summit Cove. Used the Rec Path, disc golf course, and Oro Grande trails. Lots of views of the lake, decent climb with a few good downhills.

Back in the 1960s through 1990s the nearby highschools used the Mount Royal area for ski jump competitions. In 1989 it was also used for a Junior Olympic qualifying tournament. It offers close and easy access right from town. The approach heads up to the north ridge and above Masontownsite to a saddle. It heads south and over to Peak One. This is a high risk avalanche area but if you can catch it during the right time in spring the skiing is awesome.

Took the Summit Rec path to Keystone, and then the dirt trails on the way back. Good mix of easy path and some tough rocks and bridges on the trails. Can keep speed fairly well on the way back. And the uphill on the path is easy.

The ride from Frisco to Vail Pass is on a bike path almost the entire route.

Lots of flowing terrain, up hills and down. Some treacherous uphill at the beginning and coming back to loop the other direction. Pretty much the start of each loop requires you to climb a hill next to water holding tanks, and then flow down towards the lake in many directions.There are many paths, many ways to ride, and can be as challenging as you would like to make it. Well maintained. Great views of Lake Dillon, Frisco, and the peaks around the lake.

From the town of Frisco, Buffalo Mountain is one of the more prominent features in the area. The trail, recently constructed in 2004, meanders through a forest of pines and past remnants of Buffalo Cabin to the talus slopes of Buffalo Mountain. From here, it climbs to and follows a ridge to the summit. There are excellent views of Red Peak and East Thorn from the summit, but views of the more scenic Gore Range are just beyond this point. Beyond the summit, the trail makes a short scramble down a rocky ridge to a viewpoint overlooking the Gore Range.

Easy trail through open space park, back to or forth from Summit Cove Wetlands Trail

The trail to Lilly Pad Lake is a beautiful and serene winter trail. It begins to climb quickly to the water tower and then winds through lodgepole forest and open meadows. As you approach the lake the trail levels out and is almost flat till you reach the lake.

The Continental Divide Trail stretches a whopping 3,100 miles from the border of Mexico all the way north to the border of Canada. This trip follows a section of the Continental Divide Trail from the town of Frisco to the Copper Mountain Ski Resort area. The trail climbs up a canyon and follows Tenmile Creek through a thick forest of tall evergreens before heading due south above timberline and into an alpine tundra terrain. It climbs up and over Uneva Pass as it descends to Lost Lake where evergreens begin to reappear. Beyond the lake, the trail meanders through a mix of open meadow and evergreen forests toward the Copper Mountain Ski area. This can be done as a long day hike, but its best enjoyed as an overnight backpacking trip.

Quick trail from summit rec path to soda ridge trails. Goes through some of the Ranch Golf Course.

From just below the Summit Shooting Range, and just above the landfill, there lies a small trail marker. The trail continues on beyond my tracks but I veered off to get some great views and see some fall colors!

North Tenmile Creek is an excellent winter adventure into the backcountry. Wichita Mountain and Chief Mountain tower around you as you travel through the Eagles Nest Wilderness Area. The trail begins climbing steeply and quickly right in the beginning but this is the steepest section. Ski poles for snowshoers is a good idea and if you are skiing skins will be helpful. Plan on a full day for this adventure.

Lots of uphill challenges, some log piles to go over on Blair Witch, lots of very fast downhill sections as well. This was a great ride, about 2 hours with breaks and waiting for people. Beginning at the trail merge near Keystone Ranch, taking Soda Ridge Trail behind the Ranch, and a loop around on Blair Witch. Then back on Soda Ridge.

A fast downhill or hard climb, depends which direction you choose. Either way, great views above the river, if you stop to appreciate, or just rip through to the highway. Can cross the hwy to the Summit County Rec Path.
