The trail is a steady climb with just a couple of steep spots. I would recommend this hike.Good views.
Views from the top are nice but honestly, the views From the Sapphire Point Trail are better and on an easier hike. I’d not recommend for those with mobility challenges, as the path has lots of dirt spots to navigate that may be slick, especially on the downhill stretches.Parts of this trail are a 4 and some are a 3. Wasn’t very busy either.Nice length for out of towners for first hike.
Our 4,5, and 9 year old did great but their legs were tired by the time we made it to the end. Steepish beginning of hike but the rest isn’t steep.

The Town of Dillon acquired the Roberts Tunnel Peninsula Open Space through an annexation with Denver water in 1996, and it was designated as the Dillon Nature Preserve. Yes there are flat, easy stretches,—but be aware there are also several inclines that can leave a lot of folks winded especially if not from this altitude all the time.
Meadow Trail. Could use more clear path markings, most or all markers just point 2 ways and say “Dillon” with no reference to the trail name on this app.Overall we enjoyed the hike.However I’d say for “flatlander” visitors like us who take evening walks or bike mostly around your neighborhoods, the rating of “Easy” is misleading. Elevation gain in this spot is probably what most people are saying about the easy/moderate difference. Ridge Trail Loop. I backtracked and went back into the clearing and wooded area on the backside because all the trail did was go on the road by the lake. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and bird watching and is best used from May until October. Great views. Begin following the Meadow Trail. A few steep sections. Really nice lookout spots for pics of Dillon Reservoir. Got here at 6:50am. Steep at first. Good shade spots for breaks, large trees throughout. Some nice stop offs by streams. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash. Plenty of flat easy trail parts with the occasional short inclines to make it feel like you are still getting a little workout in!Great trail with amazing views! A little bit of incline but a good amount of shade here and there.A relatively easy hike after the switchbacks on the first part. But if you’re 50+, maybe a little pudgy, and haven’t hiked or biked any serious inclines in a while, just be aware that “Easy” might not be as true for you as for your grandkids! Hit the overlooks, stunning! At this point, turn left onto a trail that winds up a hill through a meadow. The first part of this hike goes up rapidly on several switchbacks.
Being from a low elevation city it was a great way to help acclimate ourselves to the high elevations and low oxygen levels of the Rockies. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash. I’m betting the “Easy” rating is very relative to other area climbs by folks who get out & do regional hikes regularly.
This trail is not technical but it is fast and fun with great views and a backcountry feel even though the rider is close to civilization.
Town Hall (970) 468-2403 Marina: (970) 468-5100From the parking area, head west to meet up with the paved recreational path. The trail is primarily used for hiking, run Show more #2 - Old Dillon Reservoir Trail Not only is the slightly elevated locale of Old Dillon Reservoir a scenic one, but the trail is lined with fragrant wild roses in late June and into July. If given a choice, we would definitely do the Sapphire Point hike again long before this one.Great trail. Soon as I entered the clearing, I saw a huge mule deer.
