Situated between Dillon and Frisco, this site offers fantastic views of the Ten Mile Range, Buffalo Mountain, Continental Divide, and beautiful Colorado sunsets.
What we love about this site:
Panoramic mountain views as well as great views of Lake Dillon. The walk to this site is fabulous for "in the woods" photos at any time of year.
Up on a hill for an even more majestic view, and other spots nearby offer different views/backdrops for pictures.
No fee.
Surrounded by aspen trees, which are beautiful in the fall.
Potential drawbacks of this site
It's non-reservable, so you have to take what you get when you arrive. It may be in use.
This site can get very crowded in summer. We recommend it most for weddings from late October through early May.
15-20 minute walk to site via dirt trail.
Snowshoes may be required in winter--particularly if you want to walk the site a bit for a variety of photo backdrops.
