Frisco to KeystoneFrisco to Keystone The distance is an easy 10-mile ride with a constant grade. Another great ride for the kids and the scenery is amazing. To access this section of the bike path take I-70 to exit 201 Frisco Main Street. Continue down the street to the stop light at the end of the road. Drive straight into the Marina and park there. The bike path begins on the left. The path winds around the shoreline of Lake Dillon passing the medical center and weaving around over the marshes. Just after the path parallels the Dam road for a moment, it heads into a forest of lodgepole pine with glimpses of the lake on every corner. The path follows a series of up and down rollers passing the Heaton Bay Campground. Use caution when crossing this access road. Again the path goes along the Dillon Dam road passing a parking area that explains the history of the Dam and then crosses the dam. Turn-offs for Silverthorne are on the left but continue and merge on Lodgepole road and look for the path, which continues above the Marina. The trail follows a steep downhill into Gold Run Circle head to the right. Continue up the hill toward Highway 6 where the bike path resumes adjacent to the Highway along the shores of the reservoir. The path crosses Snake River by means of large pedestrian bridges coming to an intersection to Swan Mountain Road to the right and Keystone straight ahead. The path resumes following Highway 6 in the woods passing Keystone golf course then winds around the beautiful Snake River and ski cabins until reaching Keystone Resort. Congratulations! Go enjoy the many summer activities that Keystone has to offer! |
