We are going to Frisco, CO next week with our 4.5 yr old and 2 yr old.  Staying at a HomeAway and planning to mostly just relax and enjoy the mountain air, and renting a boat on Lake Dillon one day.  Any other must-do things with little kids? Restaurant recommendations?  Easy (like really easy) hikes?  I'm considering horseback riding as well - Breckenridge Stables offers a 1.5 hr trail ride with a double saddle so kids can ride with parents, but worried my 4 yr old will chicken out and waste the money.

 

Frisco is just a good centrally located home base to get to Breck or Dillon/Keystone.  There's nothing within Frisco itself except grocery stores, businesses and some condos.  We have a 3 year old that we lug up there twice a year and I'd specifically recommend:

- Food: Arapahoe Cafe in Dillon.  You could sit inside or outside with the kiddos.  Breck has plenty of decent spots too

- There's a kid's park close to the brand new Dillon Amphitheater within walking distance of Arapahoe Cafe.  Good place for them to burn off energy and for you parents to get a great view of the lake and mountains.  

- Friday afternoons has free gondola rides up to Keystone (Breck might have this too) and there is live music and food/beer/games up there.  It's good for young'ns and parents.  You just walk in to where lift tickets are sold and they give you a lift ticket for free.  My daughter would prefer to just go up and down the gondola for hours but it's fun up top too.  

- the Fun Parks like Breck's Peak 8 might be tough/too early for the 2 year old but the 4.5 year old could enjoy it.  There's height restrictions on everything.

-  Sapphire Point to feed the chipmunks is a kid favorite and beautiful views.  It's on the road between Breck and Keystone.  Great thing to do in the morning or early evening depending on when the 2.year old has to be back for bedtime.  There's an easy loop hike right there too.  That's the only hiking we do with the kid, just too much of a pain.  

Enjoy getting out of the heat.  

They have a BBQ Challenge every June. The food is disappointing, but the beer and activities are good.
