| View of the Ten Mile Range from Sapphire Point |
Sapphire Point is a short loop trail to an overlook gazing down on scenic Lake Dillion in Summit County Colorado. There are also picnic tables, but you need to be prepared to haul your load quite a ways to get to them.
 |
| The northern start of the loop is on the Swan Mountain bike path |
 |
| The path is smooth |
I decided to check out this trail as a potential place to take my parents. The route is both smooth enough and short enough to qualify as suitable for older folks. I was quite pleased with the views and might take people there just to get them oriented to the area.
