"The de facto capital of Colorado’s mountain country, Summit County is the base for accessing many of the state’s most popular mountain towns. In the winter, skiers and boarders flock from around the world to the famed slopes of Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Keystone, and more. In summer, hiking, biking, and climbing reign supreme. From Denver, head west on I-70 through the Eisenhower Tunnel and get off at exit 203 for the towns of Frisco and Breckenridge.Breck is quintessential Colorado. A festive main street commercial district houses a number of unique shops and restaurants, and a gondola takes you to the base of the mountain resort where you can ride the alpine slide, tear down the slopes on a mountain bike, or enjoy a scenic chairlift ride and hike. On Main Street, Downstairs at Eric’s is a casual restaurant with solid pizza and a beer menu that screams craft. With a total drive time of four hours, this entire route can be done in a day, putting you back in Denver before it gets late." - MATADOR_NETWORK
