Rocky Mountain Reservoir. Lake Dillon

The Reservoir

This little-know reservoir in Dillon, Colorado provides picturesque views to behold. Known as the Dillion Reservoir, or Lake Dillon, this reservoir has a rich history. The Dillon damn was built in 1963 creating a reservoir to combat drought conditions of the ’50s. The town of Dillon was moved to the east when the dam was built. The snowmelt from the Rocky Mountains fills the reservoir with chilly water, ranging from 43 degrees in the winter to 63 degrees in the summer.

Location

The town of Dillon is only about 70 miles west of Denver, in the Rocky Mountain Range. This little town is the gateway to all the ski resorts. This scenic drive is easily driven in a little over an hour and it is definitely worth it to visit. Behold the crystal clear waters and the scenic views.

Clean Drinking Water

The Roberts tunnel took 18 years to build and transports water from the reservoir under the mountain, across the Continental Divide and down to the South Platte River to supply crystal clear drinking water for about 1/3 of the Denver population.

Check out this picturesque winter scene captured by drone. This was quite difficult to capture as you can see there is snow and ice on the lake and the temperatures were dropping. The drone battery did not last long and we almost lot the drone over the lake.

Best Colorado Train Ride – Royal Gorge Railway

Nostalgic Train Ride

Train travel doesn’t usually have the hype and glam of other forms of travel. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy flying all over the world. But for me, there is something nostalgic and beautiful about train travel. I love to feel the click clack click clack rocking of the train cars. And to listen to the train whistle blowing low and strong across the plains. Time seems to slow down, and life just doesn’t have the hustle-bustle that is normally there. It is soothing for the soul.
