Frisco

• Walk or bike whenever possible. Main Street and the Marina parking fills up quickly, but both are highly walkable, so once you find a place to park, plan to walk or shuttle the rest of the day.
• Go early for adventure. Whether it's hiking, paddling, or skiing, start early to beat both the crowds and afternoon storms
• Take advantage of the Summit Stage, the free bus system that connects Frisco to nearby ski resorts and towns. This is especially helpful during ski season or summer events.

• Respect the Outdoors: Pack it in, pack it out. Locals take "Leave No Trace" seriously, littering or going off trail is heavily frowned upon. Stay on designated trails and avoid cutting switchbacks.
• Trail Sharing: On bike/pedestrian trails, bikers yield to pedestrians, and everyone yields to horses (if present). Give a friendly “on your left” when passing and slow down near families or pets.
• Community Vibe: Frisco is laid-back and friendly. A smile or wave goes a long way, and locals appreciate when visitors show curiosity and respect for the town's character and environment.

• High Altitude Awareness: Frisco sits at 9,097 ft (2773 m), so visitors often experience altitude sickness. Hydrate, take it easy the first day, and avoid alcohol initially. Consider electrolyte drinks and don't skip meals.
• Sun & Weather: UV exposure is intense at altitude, sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats are essentials, even in winter. Weather changes fast in the mountains. Always bring layers and check the forecast before heading out.
• Wildlife Caution: Frisco is surrounded by national forest and home to moose, black bears, and foxes. Keep a safe distance and never feed wildlife. Store food properly at campsites and be cautious on trails, especially at dawn and dusk.

Frisco is super dog-friendly, but leash laws are enforced in town and at the marina.

Please always pick up after your dog (waste bags are provided on most trails). This goes along with the "Leave no Trace" concept.

• The Summit Stage bus system provides ADA-compliant fixed routes, along with Mountain Mobility Paratransit, a curb-to-curb service for riders whose disabilities prevent using regular buses. Service covers within ¾ mile of fixed routes and requires advance registration and medical verification
• Many of Frisco’s paved trails, including the Tenmile Canyon Recreational Path and the Blue River Trail, are wheelchair-accessible, featuring flat paths, accessible docks, restrooms, and designated handicap parking.
• Public buildings and roadways in Frisco adhere to ADA guidelines (e.g., curb ramps, accessible sidewalks, ramps, push buttons) under CDOT’s statewide ADA Transition Plan.

• In March 2024, Frisco began developing its own Climate Action & Resiliency Plan, building on the 2019 Summit-wide strategy. This will provide a town-specific roadmap focused on greenhouse-gas reduction, resilience, and community engagement.

• The 2019 Summit Community Climate Action Plan, adopted by Frisco and Summit County, set ambitious targets: reduce GHG emissions 50% by 2030 and 80% by 2050—across energy, transportation, waste, and forest health.

• Frisco has implemented an Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan, installing five dual-port charging stations downtown and at the marina, with grant support from Charge Ahead Colorado

• Frisco Police recently warned about fake DMV traffic ticket and toll express lane scams via text or call. These messages often claim you owe fines and pressure for information or payment.
• The Summit County Sheriff Office recently reported WhatsApp-based threats, some claiming a loved one is kidnapped with a death threat, designed to extort money.

These are hoaxes. Don’t engage. Report directly to local law enforcement.
