Explore the history of Frisco, Colorado, from the vantage point of twenty-one mountains surrounding the town. Founded in 1879 along the banks of the Tenmile Creek, hardy silver miners made their way across the mountain passes of Summit County and into the high country of Frisco. As the town grew, recreationists realized the backcountry opportunities of climbing these towering summits. Learn about the discoveries, triumphs, tragedies, rivalries, and confrontations of the characters who set out to create a life high above Frisco. Each chapter addresses a specific mountain to highlight the important and not-to-be-forgotten history that made Frisco, Colorado, the modern mountain town it is today.
