SnowshoeingSapphire Point Loop
This short and wheelchair-friendly loop is an excellent trail for people who just want to view some spectacular scenery. It’s also great for kids of all ages and there are numerous chipmunks and Golden Mantled Squirrels to observe at the overlook.
Sapphire Point Overlook sits between Keystone and Breckenridge on Swan Mountain Road, at an elevation of 9,500 feet. The overlook offers a stunning view of Dillon Reservoir, hemmed in by the Gore and Tenmile mountain ranges.
Sapphire Point is a day-use area that can be reserved for two-hour blocks for private gatherings. It is the only designated site where wedding ceremonies are permitted to take place on the Dillon Ranger District, so please be considerate if any are taking place. – USFS Overview
