Blue Sky Elopements specializes in sites that are lesser known to non-locals. (That's how we get to offer such fabulous venues that have fewer people around!) This site does not fit that model, but we offer it as an option because so many of our couples request it.
What we love about this site:
Panoramic mountain views.
It has a stunning backdrop of Lake Dillon
Affordable reservation fee $120
Easy to access. (Short walk down a relatively flat path.)
Potential drawbacks of this site
It's almost always crowded. Best for winter elopements on weekdays (and even then, you should expect onlookers). If seclusion is high on your list, this is not the site for you!
Parking lot can be full.
Accessibility
Parking: the site has its own parking lot that can accommodate 22 cars, but the site is a popular one and public access cannot be prohibited during a wedding. Oftentimes, the parking lot is full.
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.)
Access from parking: Accessible for most. Site requires walking down a short, well-maintained, slightly downhill path (slightly uphill on the way back!). The path to the site is not maintained in winter. (It's usually pretty much tamped down by other people walking on it, though, so it's not usually a problem.)
Additional Logistics
Dogs: allowed on a leash.
Bathrooms: rustic (pit toilets).
Suitable for children: yes.
Max vehicles accommodated: site has parking for 22 cars BUT it's open to the public and the parking lot fills up quickly. We suggest using a shuttle service if your party has more than two or three vehicles.
Max number of guests at this site: 30
Dates of Availability: year-round.
Type of Site: Public. Reservable. (But no exclusive use.)
Elevation: 9,500ft (2,896m) above sea level.
