The trail to the Old Dillon Reservoir is a short excursion to the top of a ridge with stunning views of Lake Dillion along the way. This is one of my favorite after work doggie outings. In summer, the lake gleams and sailboats dot the water (see summer post).

In winter the shores are covered with snow and a hush seems to have fallen over the area because the outdoor enthusiasts have abandoned the water for the ski slopes.
