CYCLING
Summit County Bike Path
( www.summitbiking.org ) Frisco is the hub for Summit County's fabulous paved bike paths.
From the Frisco Marina you can wrap most of the way around the reservoir to Dillon (7.5
miles; great family trip) and on to Keystone (13.5 miles, 1200ft elevation gain) or pedal
around the other side and up to Breckenridge (9.5 miles, 500ft elevation gain); the Dillon
trail has minimal elevation gain.
Alternatively, you can head off in the other direction to climb Vail Pass (12 miles,
1550ft elevation gain) and roll all the way down to Vail. Many bike shops run shuttles up
to the top of the pass if you're only interested in the downhill ride. Grab a copy of the free
Summit County Bike Guide in rental shops or the visitor center.
Note that you can take bikes on the Summit Stage ( Click here ) if you run out of steam
or only want to go one-way.
