Front Range Site 020903pretty

Pine trees, snow-capped mountain tops (even a 14er!), craggy rock faces--this site has virtually everything Colorado without having to traipse through the hustle and bustle of the ski resort towns. It offers a more relaxed feel, all the while only being an hours drive from Denver.

This site also has 2 different locations within it (that are only separated by a 5 minute walk) that provide different backdrops. It's really stunning!

What we love about this site:

Fantastic views of both the town of Evergreen as well as Mt. Evans.
Has 2 different vantage points.
It's a four-season venue.
Short walk (less than 5 minutes) to the ceremony site from parking.

Potential drawbacks of this site

It's a free site, so it's open to everyone.
The walk to the site is slightly uphill and isn't a clear path.

Accessibility

Parking: 15 cars.

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.)

Other accessibility concerns: guests have to walk up a slight hill that is littered with rocks to access the ceremony site.
