About Sapphire PointOne glance at a photo of a Sapphire Point ceremony and you'll understand why it is so popular. It's nestled on a rock cliff overlook Lake Dillon and is equally located between Breckenridge, Keystone, Frisco and Dillon - making planning a small destination wedding here easy with a plethora of options for lodging, dining and activities. It is on National Forest Service property, so natural abundance abounds with regrowing forestation (recovering from beetle kill) and rock outcroppings. It is located along a wide hiking path that in it's entirety, is a one-mile loop trail. For destination weddings, getting to Summit County is very easy. Once you land at Denver International Airport, rent a car and drive west on Interstate 70. Between 1.5 and 2 hours later, and after driving through some of the most scenic mountains, you'll arrive at the Frisco exit, #205. Sapphire Point is located between this exit and Breckenridge (which is 9 miles south of the exit). Tip: if you want to make day of it, peel off at Idaho Springs for lunch and a dip at Indian Hot Springs. Or, pull off at Georgetown and head up Guanella Pass for an amazing hike and lunch at Coopers on the Creek. Things to Know about Booking Sapphire Point
