The Summit Stage runs free, frequent buses from the Frisco Transit Center to Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Keystone, Dillon, and Silverthorne, so you reach lifts, shops, and medical stops without a car. Main Street, just a half mile south of I-70 Exit 203, stays pedestrian-friendly, and most lodges sit within a ten-minute stroll of dining and gear shops.

Frisco is at 9,000-plus feet, so drink water early, pace hikes, and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen. Afternoon storms build fast, pack a light rain shell even on bright mornings.
