It’s been a great trip – good hiking, acceptable golf, and fine dining. We took two short hikes before our final round of golf.

Sapphire Point Overlook is one of the most popular hikes in the county. The hike offers stunning views of the Tenmile Range and Lake Dillon. Sapphire Point Overlook is located at the top of Swan Mountain Pass. The trail is flat, with very minimal elevation gain throughout the 0.6-mile loop. The trail loops around the top of Swan Mountain. As you continue around the loop, you see views of Grays and Torreys Peaks, two fourteener-foot mountains along the Continental Divide.

Our last hike was an easy trail that has spectacular views of the mountains of the Tenmile Range and the Continental Divide. The Old Dillon Reservoir was built in the 1930’s to supply water to the original town of Dillon, which is now covered by the new Dillon Reservoir. The trail is an easy 1.7 mile out and back. Just as we have seen all week long, we are about two weeks early for the Aspens to reach their full color. Timing is everything.

We never had a bad meal in Breckenridge, but I need to give a shout out to The Hearthstone Restaurant for one of the best meals I’ve had and applause to Keystone golf courses for fun and challenges.
