The smell of fresh, mountain air; the rocky crags rising up in the distance; the snowy winter downfalls and cool, crisp summers; the peaks cutting into the willowing clouds? You’re dreaming of the Rocky Mountains. The best place to capture the magic of the Rocky Mountains is by moving to Summit County in Colorado. Summit County encompasses a range of land nestled amongst the mountain chain, and offers a wide variety in altitudes, activities, and opportunities. Summit County is made up by many great cities, including Breckenridge, Frisco, and Silverthorne, and it offers close access to other cities such as Vale and, a bit further, Denver. Summit County has two nationally protected forested areas, White River National Forest and Eagles Nest Wilderness, four major skiing areas, and numerous trails and byways that wind up the mountainsides. A network of rivers and tributaries can also be found, for those who like to fish or simply listen to the gentle susurrus of flowing water. Whatever sport you fancy you can find here, from mountain biking to skiing to obstacle courses. If sports are not for you, just bask in the opulent beauty of the natural scenery. Summit County offers as well great downtowns. Breckenridge is filled with high-quality food and boutique shopping, while Silverthorne is the one-stop shopping mania. Life in Summit County has all you could ever want. Discover beautiful mountain lodge style homes with enough space to host your largest skiing expedition.
