Dillon Colorado

With so many outdoor recreational and downtown shopping options in the handful of mountain towns that lie in Summit County, Colorado, it's no wonder this area of the state is frequently visited by millions of visitors annually. The town of Dillon is one of the most visited areas in the county, mainly because of its proximity to the numerous ski resorts and the excellent shopping, accommodation and dining options available. So, if you are driving on I-70 in Summit County don't blink when you see signs for Dillon because you might miss this impressive area.

On the shore of Summit County's centerpiece, Dillon Reservoir, the quaint mountain town of Dillon is a blend of backwoods cabins, modern vacation homes and top notch accommodations for everyone from couples to families. With its streets winding through the pines and down by Lake Dillon, the town lacks a real "downtown," though the Dillon Mall is home to restaurants and ski shops. Since the 1940s, Dillon has been a popular resort community when A-Basin skiers built log cabins and constructed restaurants and lodges. During the summer, Dillon is a hot spot for sailors, anglers and other water-sport people who flock to the lake for hours of recreation.
