Summit County is famous for its high country mountain activities, especially skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, tubing and cross-country skiing in the winter and hiking, mountain climbing, road and mountain biking, golf, tennis...pretty much all warm weather activities in the summer. Gorgeous rocky mountains with high altitude mountain passes make for spectacular sight seeing. Nearby rivers, reservoirs and lakes also allow for great water sports in the summer such as sailing, swimming and whitewater rafting. Local towns abound with great restaurants, bars, nightlife, galleries and shopping , etc. (including outlet shopping 5 minutes from our townhouse). The major city of Denver, with a host of cultural activities, including arts, music, theater and major sports teams, is just over an hour away.
