This is our drive from atop the Dillon Dam. The lake is to the left and the towns of Silverthorne and Dillon are to the right.
View of the lake with the red buoys which separate the lake from the spillway into the Dam.
We found the Marina and walked around to look at the boats and surrounding park.
Then we decided to go stand out on the lake. It was completely frozen, with people snowshoeing on it, fishing, and dogs playing. Still, TG wouldn't go out quite as far as MB cause she was nervous.
Then we went to lunch at the Dam Brewery. This was like a scene out of National Lampoons Vegas Vacation. On the Menu: Build A Dam Burger, Hug A Dam Tree (veggie burger), Ride A Dam Buffalo (bison burger), Cross A Dam Chicken, Dam Fine Wings, Dam Chef Salad.....you get the point.
During lunch TG flipped through real estate magazines hoping to find an affordable home on Lake Dillon with great views. Unfortunately, these homes were nowhere near our budget....maybe after we win the lottery.
On the way back to Breck we stopped and got our picture taken at "The Summit" scenic spot.
Oh and TG says she is ok with moving here because they have her two favorite places: Chipotle and Target.
Overall, great day trip. We really enjoyed it and the scenery was breathtaking! Thursday is up next, which means...SPA DAY AND FANCY DINNER!
