The Key to the County

Boating on Lake Dillon ranks among Summit County’s quintessential summer pursuits. So does biking around it, especially because the trail leads along the Snake River to Keystone Resort’s myriad attractions and activites. There’s golf, of course, and the fun restaurants and shops in River Run. But there’s also horseback riding, summer snow tubing, chairlifts up Keystone Mountain. Of note, fat-tire aficionados will love Keystone’s Bike Park and its mountain-bike terrain rated from greens to blues to blacks, as well as more than 100 miles of single track. keystoneresort.com
