About this place
Sapphire Point Overlook is a short yet charming hike leading to a stunning overlook of Lake Dillon near Breckenridge, Colorado.
This short, 0.6 mile loop hike gives a beautiful view of Lake Dillon and is an easy, family-friendly hike. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on leash. The trail is clear cut and descends a few feet while looping around the side of the mountain to the overlook point.
It is definitely a worthwhile stop on the road.
PARKING
Parking can be very limited and challenging during the summer, especially on the weekends. Local law enforcement does not want people parking on the shoulder of Swan Mountain Road and may write citations for those parking along the shoulder.
