Highlight • Viewpoint

The Swan Mountain Recreation Area is the site of the Sapphire Point Overlook and picnic area. There are private events at this site on a regular basis (lots of summer weddings), but the area is usually left open for public use. Access to Sapphire Point Overlook is easy since there is a parking area less than half a mile from the trail, and the parking area is located just off of the Dillon Reservoir Recpath.
