Sapphire Point Overlook

A short loop viewpoint beside Swan Mountain Road, overlooking Dillon Reservoir and the Ten Mile Range from above. It is a popular spot for watching the sunset.

The overlook lies on Swan Mountain Road between Breckenridge and Keystone. After parking, a gentle loop trail of about 800 meters leads to a stone platform, with the sapphire-blue Dillon Reservoir and rows of snowy peaks beyond. Admission is free. It is worth a half-hour stop on the way, and the light is best in the evening. Couples often take wedding photos here. In winter, watch for snow on the road.
