Frisco Colorado - how high are we?

It's that time of year. Summer is coming to a rapid end and the school semester is beginning. What perfect timing over Labor Day weekend  to get a quick preview of the autumnal weather to come. 

Frisco is home to one of the six McKinsey couples we see every year. After getting accustomed to being 9,000 feet above sea level, we tried Breckinridge, with it's double chairlifts to bring us 12,000 feet up for amazing dining. An afternoon in Vale was a delight. Bicycles, lots of folks with dogs, Oakley sunglasses,  and shorts with polar fleece tops was the rule at the farmers market. There were also lots of folks on crutches healing up before the next season. (There is a reason these two boaters opt for flat water instead of flying down the slopes.)

We had a terrific time. We got some tips from the Frisbee Golf tournament folks, visited the Breck art fair, spent an afternoon on ATV's and managed to pick up some terrific new outerwear. (This area KNOWS outdoor gear in a way two city slickers never will.) Fly fishing could be found wherever there was a stream worth standing in. And the scenery? There aren't words. Thanks Gordon and Mary!
