Situated in one of the most popular national parks, this site has some of the most awe-inspiring mountain backdrops in the entire Rocky Mountain range.
Complete with rocky outcroppings, and panoramic mountain views, this site within Rocky Mountain National Park is quintessential Colorado!
What we love about this site:
The natural beauty all around is simply incredible.
It's only a short drive (15 minutes) from Estes Park, making it very accessible.
Potential drawbacks of this site
It does require a paid permit and they are limited.
Parking can be difficult.
This site requires paid entrance into Rocky Mountain National Park and this is a VERY popular park. We only recommend weddings be held here in the off-season.
Accessibility
Parking: 3. We highly recommend carpooling.
Vehicle type: for winter, make sure your vehicle has good ground clearance to get over snow, as well as 4-wheel drive for potential ice. For weddings held between September 1st and May 31st, note that Colorado has strict traction laws in place that affect what type of vehicle you are allowed to drive in the mountains. If you are planning a Colorado mountain wedding between these dates, please thoroughly read this blog post so you'll be driving the right type of vehicle. (Don't rely on the car rental companies to fill you in on this; our experience is that they don't.)
Accessibility: To get to the site, you'll walk from the paved parking area over a short dirt path. The path is cut within a slight hill.
