Summer in Silverthorne

It's summertime in Silverthorne, meaning it's time to bike the Blue River Trail, cast a line in the Blue River, gather with friends at Rainbow Park or catch up with neighbors at a signature First Friday event.

Whether you are looking for a day filled with high-alpine adventure or a weekend full of local art, or both, Silverthorne has it all this summer. So head to Maryland Creek Park for a round of disc golf, to North Pond Park for an evening paddleboard session, or take a stroll along the Blue River Trail at a Sunday Art Stroll and support local artists and musicians. And don't forget to try a class at the Art Spot Silverthorne Makerspace!

However you chose to explore, we hope you find where art meets adventure in Silverthorne this summer!

Know Before You Go: Plan Your Colorado Adventure Responsibly

Help us protect our public lands for generations to come by planning your Colorado adventure responsibly.

Know Before You Go

  • Almost half of Colorado is public land. Learn about the area you plan to visit before adventuring out so you can enjoy and help protect the spaces we all share.
  • Colorado’s weather and scenic terrain is stunning but can change drastically. Check conditions before you depart, pack layers, sun protection and rain gear, wear appropriate footwear ... and enjoy your trip.
  • Journey to places with minimal crowds to maximize your connection with the great outdoors. Have a backup plan in case the parking lot at your original destination is full.
  • Pack reusable water bottles to stay hydrated, limit waste and save money.
