A Strong Community with Small Mountain Town Charm
Frisco is your typical idyllic Colorado mountain town. It is surrounding by the breathtaking sights of the Tenmile Range sprinkled with winding rivers, alpine lakes, wildflower meadows, and wildlife. Centrally located between a handful of premier winter and summer resorts, Frisco makes a great base to explore the Rocky Mountains.
Not only does Frisco carry all of the charm and beautiful scenery you would expect, but it offers a strong sense of community as well. Neighbors of this small town all work together to keep the community as beautiful as they found it. This May, the town will host the annual Town Clean Up Day & Appreciation Party with the opportunity to pitch in and enjoy a couple of beers and BBQ at the after party. Plan your mountain excursion to a place where you will feel like a part of something truly special!
