Frisco Hikes
Three highly acclaimed hikes in the Frisco area are Mount Royal, Peak One, and Rainbow Lake. Mount Royal (moderate) is a step trail that passes many old mining ruins on the way. Most enjoyed in the fall with the change of the aspen leaves, the views are spectacular anytime. Once at the top you are rewarded with a grand view of the town all the way to the Gore Range, over Lake Dillon to the Continental Divide. If feeling quite ambitious and have ample supply of food and water, a journey up to Peak One (advanced) might be your next stop. Follow the high-flying American flag waving in the wind that was placed on top after 9/11. Rainbow Lake (easy) is the perfect hike for the whole family. Enjoy a well marked trail through the woods, over bridges and streams. Make sure you bring a picnic and fishing rod for this is a delightful place to relax and enjoy your day. In order to access all 3 of these hikes, park at the Frisco Park-n-Ride at the end of Frisco Main Street near Hwy I-70. Take the paved bike path to the Mt. Royal trailhead that will lead you to Mt. Royal and Peak One.
