Sapphire Point Overlook, Breckenridge

Beautiful view of the mountainside, valley, and lake below. Just a short walk from the parking area and a very pleasant walk/hike should you choose to continue on around the hillside along the loop/pathway. Certainly worth. 10-45 minute stop depending upon how much of the views you desire to soak in. There is also a picnic bench seating area at the halfway point along the walking path.

This is a short (0.6 miles), easy, and scenic trail that overlooks Dillon reservoir and mountains. The trail is very well used and well maintained. There are many benches and a few picnic tables. There is a small restroom at the trail head. The parking lot is right off the side of Swan Mountain Rd. Great place to take pictures and view wildlife. Many people utilize this area for weddings and family pictures. Sapphire Point Overlook is beautiful in the winter too.
