A sweet little mini mountain right next to the town of Estes Park, this spot is a bit of a hidden gem that not everyone notices has a hiking trail.
The path is easy to walk, plus there are several great spots for a ceremony for just the two of you or with a small group of family/friends.
The Ponderosa Pines are part of a forest here that has such a joyful, bright feeling. Plus you are surrounded by views of bigger mountains all around - a rugged rocky ridge off in one direction and the Continental Divide off in another direction which boasts the most famous peaks in Rocky Mountain National Park. Read on for all the intel!
With love,
Officiant Lisa

All The Deets
Availability: Accessible year-round. Mid-June through early October are ideal for weather.
Group Size: Just the two of you or bring up to 10 guests with you.
The Drive: A 5-minute drive from the nearby mountain town of Estes Park.
The Walk: It’s a 10-minute hike on a wide gravel trail that is graded so the surface is not uneven like a full-on hiking trail. You’ll still want hiking shoes or sneakers for this though, and if you want to wear fancy wedding shoes, you can switch to them at the ceremony spot.
Permit: None required.
