Frisco's Frisbee Golf

Frisco Adventure Park
Frisco, ColoradoZachary Siemsen

Frisco, Colorado offers some amazing Frisbee Golf! Directly off Highway 9 at the Peninsula Recreation Area the Frisco Adventure Park offers great Summer and Winter activities. Yet hands down it's crown jewel is no doubt its amazingly scenic 18 hole Disc Golf Course. The Peak One Disc Golf Course tucked on the edge of the peninsula adjacent the Frisco Bay, provides an amazing view of Summit County's peaks from Tenmile Range to the southern end of the Gore Range. Peak One is an all around great course with professional and amateur tee-offs, numbered holes,  benches (retrofitted from retired ski lift chairs), and of course a breathe taking view. The holes range from 150 feet to a few 400 and up, most holes are not visible from the tee and knowing how to read the left-right or center indicators at each tee to tell you where the hole is really helps. Since the beetle infestation and devastation of Colorado's Lodge Pole Pines Peak One has lost most of its dense and narrow holes consequentially making the course a little windy with Lake Dillon next door. With friendly players welcoming newcomers to  freely following dogs wondering around, Peak One Disc Golf Course always guarantees a good time. This is one of the most scenic disc golf courses I have ever been to and is highly recommended to all nature and disc gold enthusiasts. 

                                                    Again,

                                  Peace, Love, and the pursuit of Peaks!

Copper to Frisco

Copper Mountain Ski Resort, known for  Woodward, an in-door and out-door skate park with a snowboard jump into a foam pit is not all it offers. It could also be the starting point of an immensely scenic downhill ride into the marina town of Frisco. Cruising down Temple Trail through the Ten Mile Pass this down hill bike  or longboard ride carries you along side Ten Mile Creek on the western side of the Tenmile Mountain Range. The western side of Peak 4 and Tenmile Peaks edge the stratosphere as craggy castle like chimneys rise from the mountain side. Fluttered on either side of the trail, crystal clear water Curtain Ponds greet you with a soothing stillness as you start your descent. The ride is pretty flat until you pass the Curtain Ponds and make a slight curve around a ridge, then the coral like western side of the Tenmile Range is in clear view. Now you start to cruise, the first hill is definitely the fastest as you reach near 15 mph on a longboard and probably 20 mph on a bike, be cautious of bikers passing you and biker's beware of on coming traffic as you pass. The trail is fairly straight as there are no sharp turns so your good to bomb this all the way! The Temple Trail is beautiful, starting with tranquil clear water ponds, then an immense mountain side view until entering thick Evergreen and Aspen Pine forests that eventually lead right onto Main Street in Frisco. This ride is the perfect ride and if you decide to start in Frisco and truck your way up to Copper Mountain this cruise down is worth all your hard work. Temple Trail from Copper Mountain to Frisco is a must, weather your on bike, board, or foot you will enjoy every minute of this adventure.

Peace, Love, and Mountains

A PLACE TO CALL HOME

Arriving in Summit County I was immediately flustered at the amazing scenery of Lake Dillon, the backdrop of the Ten Mile Mountain Range. Peak One scraping the sky like a serrated blade of rocks, snow still residing on the peaks in mid-June, and an array of sail boats scattered across the Lake Dillon. This scene had me inspired and amazed, I could not believe that I would now be residing permanently in such a beautiful place.

Glad to be here,
