Denver 2017 - Sapphire Point Near Dillon

The kind folks from Austin strongly suggested Sapphire Point, which was about a ten-minute drive away.  After our short walk on the Tenderfoot, we were eager to see what it was like.  Our decision was a good one, but not because of any fantastic shots that were captured - it was a bust in that respect.  Rather it was because there were chipmunks all over the place that were accustomed to humans to the point where they would crawl onto your hand to feed.  Quite the thrill for Allison and the other handful of people there at the time.

This was also the portion of the trip in which I got a speeding ticket.  I was unfamiliar with the roads, of course, and hadn't paid enough attention to signage, and in our haste to get there was going 52 in a 35-mph zone.  Quite fair, and the officer from the Summit County SO out of  Breckenridge was courteous and professional.
