Summit County, a mere hour's drive from the Denver Metro Area on a straight shot up Interstate 70, is Denver's playground. The wide-open mountain park ringed by 13,000-foot peaks greets westbound travelers minutes after they pop out the west portal of the Eisenhower Tunnel.

Resting in the center of this bowl are the sapphire waters of Dillon Reservoir, an artificial lake fed by Blue River.
