The best time to visit this location is on summer mornings when visibility is greatest and cooler temperatures make for more comfortable conditions for viewing. Afternoon thunderstorms are common later in the day, so it's best to plan your trip accordingly. At night temperatures drop significantly so visitors should come prepared with warm clothing and flashlights if planning an after-dark excursion.
The area was named after sapphires found along nearby creeks by local prospectors many years ago. In addition to its fine views, Sapphire Point provides a great opportunity to learn about Colorado’s mining history as well as enjoy some peace and quiet away from it all. Visitors should be aware that no restroom facilities are available at this location though dogs are welcome on leashes as long as they remain under control at all times.
