No trip to Colorado is complete without a visit to this site, regardless of marital status, though it does have a few tucked away areas that are great to say "I do". This site is quintessential Colorado; from the colossal red monolith stone formations, to the open skies and panoramic views of Denver.
There are some reservable sites, and due to the popularity of this park, we advise a morning to early afternoon ceremony.
What we love about this site:
The park itself. The views and backdrop are incredible.
Location.
Potential drawbacks of this site
The park is an incredibly popular place. Don't count on seclusion.
Weekends and evening are the busiest times of the day, with Summer and Fall being the busiest times of the year.
