RMOTHG Trip – Windy Point Trail - Dillon Reservoir

Windy Point is tucked away from the bikes and traffic noise on the south side of Dillon Reservoir, just off of Swan Mountain Road. This is an easy and slow-paced hike that follows the shoreline. We'll enjoy the scenic views of the lake and the surrounding 14ers.

Bring a snack or lunch to enjoy at the east end of the trail along the lake. Watch for the pre-trip email on Tuesday evening.

Here is a trail map from All Trails:
