Nearby highlights include Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, the Guanella Pass scenic byway and Bread Bar in Silver Plume. Looking for a challenge?

Getting Around: For those visiting without a car, there are many transportation options. Although we urge you not to rely on Uber or Lyft, visitors can get around using the Roundabout Bus, Bustang + Outrider or Snowstang buses. Explore your options at visitclearcreek.com/transportation. Georgetown itself is very walkable. The stroll around the lake is especially enjoyable, and can be combined with a visit to lakeside Cabin Creek Brewery. The house is very close to the Guanella Pass Scenic Byway, a popular drive that delivers views, wildlife, backcountry skiing, and access to 14ers and other excellent hiking trails. The main highway is the East-West I-70. Head West to get to the ski resorts (there are many to choose from). Frisco Reservoir is a local-favorite destination for swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding. There is also a popular long bike ride between Frisco and Breckenridge. I-70 East will take you to Denver, Golden, and Boulder. We are about two hours from Rocky Mountain National Park via CO-119 and CO-72 W. This is also the route to take to Eldora, a laid-back ski resort where you can avoid the crowds and mingle with locals.
