This site is a private 4-acre ranch located in the White River National Forest. You can book lodging here, but note that they do not offer onsite elopements--their minimum package is 10 hours of services--which more than likely you don’t need!

However, once you are off their private property, you may have a ceremony anywhere on the National Forest grounds. This may require a 10-15 minute walk depending on where you want to be married.

We only perform ceremonies here from mid-June through mid-September. The road going up to this site is seven miles of dirt road. While you don’t need four-wheel drive in the summer, it is difficult to navigate once the snow falls. Our fees for this site are higher than in-town Vail rates due to the extra time it takes to get there.

If you want to get away from the more populated area, nearby is a lesser-known spot that still has mountain views, but with a river and a woodsier feel to it. Check out the last 2 videos below.

What we love about this site:

• Incredible mountain and lake views.

• Second site with a different type of feel to it.

Potential drawbacks of this site

• Only accessible from mid-June through mid-September.

• Parking is limited.
