Frisco, Colorado | RV America Y'all

Continuing our Colorado Summer Road Trip! This Stop: Frisco CO!

We had no idea that we would enjoy Frisco, Colorado as much as we did. In fact, honestly, we had never even HEARD of Frisco CO before we arrived in the area last August. We were there to visit neighboring Breckenridge and escape the summer heat in the Colorado mountains.

Luckily, our RV resort was located almost perfectly between Breckenridge and Frisco and we had to drive through a piece of Frisco to get there. What we discovered in this former Colorado mining town surprised the heck out of us. It's history and small town charm quickly helped it become one of our favorites amongst all of the towns we have visited!

Is Frisco, Colorado Worth Visiting??

We absolutely love small town America. One of our favorite things about RV travel is discovering awesome places that we never knew about and Frisco CO definitely makes that list. What we found was a vibrant, friendly, fantastic summer travel destination.

So sit back, relax and join us as we take you along for our first visit to beautiful, historic Frisco, Colorado! (We'll even tell you why Frisco Colorado got its name!)
