Over the years, Silverthorne has become a hybrid of a lot of different cities in Colorado. After a huge flood, buildings from the nearby Old Dillon were moved to Silverthorne. Most famously, the Old Dillon Inn was transplanted. The most memorable thing about the Old Dillon Inn is that the neon sign that hung in the bar only read "BA" because the R never worked. Unfortunately the old bar was actually closed in 2007, but the building still remains as a landmark of the city.
 
While outdoors, there are tons of things to do in Silverthorne, Colorado. In the summer, there’s an abundance of white-water rafting, hot air balloons, and horseback riding. In the winter, there is, of course, skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling.
 
One of the cool attractions of the area are the scenic sleigh rides. The sleigh ride goes through the snow-covered mountains and usually includes dinner in a cabin along the way. There are tons of companies in the area that offer this fun and cozy adventure.
 
The natural features of Silverthorne, the surrounding mountains, are what give the town its true beauty, but a man-made feature, the Eisenhower Tunnel, has helped Silverthorne become more industrial. The Eisenhower Tunnel connects Silverthorne to Denver and many other major destinations and ski resorts in Colorado. The Eisenhower Tunnel also has helped the build-up of shopping destinations in Silverthorne. Tourists can visit the Silverthorne Factory Outlet Stores and the City Market for a low-key activity while in town.
