Why Couples Love Sapphire Point

Sapphire Point is one of the most sought-after mountain wedding locations near Breckenridge, offering sweeping alpine views with almost no effort required to reach them. Couples choose this overlook for its dramatic panorama of the Rocky Mountains and Dillon Reservoir, the easy walk from the parking area, and the unbeatable convenience of being just 15 minutes from Breckenridge and Keystone. It’s the perfect blend of iconic Colorado scenery and effortless accessibility — ideal for intimate elopements and small weddings year-round.

Unfortunately…
Even with a wedding permit, this location is on a popular public trail and tends to be PACKED with people—sunrise is the only way to beat the crowds. They also have new rules no longer allowing chairs or decorations, and limit groups to two parking spots—so larger groups have to carpool, or find a local shuttle (shuttle services in this area are limited and expensive). It’s still a great spot for small groups, especially if you can swing sunrise!
