About Keystone
In summer, the area shifts to golf, hiking, and biking. The Keystone Conference Center draws meetings and events. The surrounding White River National Forest provides access to trails and scenery. The Snake River runs through the valley, and the resort's two golf courses are laid out along it.
Keystone is not a town in the usual sense; it is an unincorporated area, and services are spread across the resort villages. The nearest full-service town is Dillon, a few miles west, which has grocery stores, restaurants, and a marina on Dillon Reservoir. Silverthorne and Frisco are also close by. The resort is about 70 miles from Denver and about 90 miles from Denver International Airport.
