Fairplay is a small town nestled among the mountains at almost 10,000 ft. The South Platte River runs through town on the back side of Front Street. The slopes surrounding the town are dotted with aspen groves and towering conifers. In the spring and summer colorful wildflowers bloom on the slopes; the fall lights up with brilliant, gold aspen, and in the winter they lie sleeping under a thick blanket of snow.

Adventure

Fairplay attracts hikers, fisherman, skiers and snowshoers. An explorer can find adventure in Park county any time of year. It is this rugged terrain, first inhabited by miners who left behind a rich history, that is so inspirational. Craftsmen can look for inspiration in the shape and form of old mining architecture and tools. The movement of an aspen grove in the fall or the endurance of an ancient bristlecone pine can spark creativity and inspire a work of fine furniture.
