Grasses

Peak 1 with Peaks 7 and 8 of the Breckenridge Ski Resort

in the distance, part of the Ten Mile Range

When you are taking a walk at this time of year in Summit County, Colorado, and for me that means in Frisco, Colorado next to Lake Dillon, you are lucky to be able to enjoy views of the Ten Mile Range with

Peak 1 and the Breckenridge Ski Area in the distance. In the other direction is the Continental Divide with the 14,000 foot peak of Grays and Torreys, part of the majestic Rocky Mountains. These kind of views and then you have skiing at Arapahoe Basin, or riding at Breckenridge, Keystone or Copper Mountain, and if you want to drive a little you can enjoy activities at Vail and Beaver Creek.

This time of year the grasses in the wetlands are

particularly beautiful. Summer in Summit County,

Colorado you may not notice the variety of the

grasses around Lake Dillon. However when the season
starts to change to Fall and the grasses become all
different shade of brown, you will notice the incredible
variety.
