Frisco is Copper ’s town and Copper is Frisco’s resort. This is the reasonable conclusion the two entities came to because of our shared resources. The partnership between these two towns has been longstanding and growing over the past few years. Copper is only 6 miles west and offers many opportunities for fun with just a short bike ride, bus ride or car ride away. Contact Copper at 888-395-0048 for more information on lodging and specific activities or call the Frisco/Copper Information Center at 800-424-1554 on ideas on making the most of your trip by combining both towns.
