Colorado has many locations like the San Juan Mountains where you can rent a jeep and explore hidden paths. This is a perfect activity for those who want some adventure. You can explore the stunning mountain locations in Colorado and create amazing memories.

2) Do Some Hiking – Colorado Elopement Ideas

This is another adventurous elopement idea. You can do some hiking at a favorite trail you’ve done before or you could choose a new trail to explore. You don’t have to be an avid hiker, there are locations with minimal hiking and are accessible.

3) Luxe Picnic Setup – Colorado Elopement Ideas

You can have a luxury picnic set-up with local vendors like Modpicnic. You can customize your service and have a unique elopement day experience. Also, you can have a picnic and painting set-up which is perfect if you are artists or you just want to try something new together.

Colorado is known for mountain elopements. But, you can also book an Airbnb with amazing views to elope. When you say your vows at an Airbnb, you get to have the mountain views in the background and don’t have to deal with crowds. Airbnb elopements are also great for getting photos at unique spots.

5) Explore Alpine Lakes

There are so many beautiful alpine lakes to explore in Colorado. Some of them don’t require much hiking at all! Here are some of the best alpine lake locations to elope in Colorado;

  • Altas Lake, Telluride
  • Lake Isabelle – Pueblo
  • Ice Lake – Silverton
  • Blue Lakes – San Juan Mountains
  • Emerald Lake – Rocky Mountain National Park
  • Crystal Lake – Breckenridge

6)Glamping And Stargazing

Rent a luxury glamping site to add to your elopement experience. This is also perfect for stargazing activities. Some glamps have skylights so you can view the stars from your yurts/tents. Glamping also gives you a lot of privacy because the locations are remote.

7) Have A Bonfire

This goes along well with staying at an epic Airbnb or glamping yurts. You can have a bonfire to end your elopement day. This is more of a laidback activity and you get to relax and just enjoy each other’s company.

8) Explore Waterfalls

If you want a waterfall elopement, there are some locations you can explore around Colorado. Some of these locations include Mccullough Gulch, the Mowak Lakes continental waterfalls, and Monte Christo Gulch near Breckenridge, Colorado. Another great waterfall spot is Bridal Veil Falls near Telluride. It is one of my favorite elopement locations in Colorado.

9) Water Activities

Because Colorado has so many lakes and rivers, it is a perfect location to do water-based activities. You can try canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, river rafting, and more. There are also natural hot springs for swimming.

10) Try An Artistic Activity

Whether you are creative or not, you can still try artistic activities. You can try drawing, painting, or crafting. You can be as creative as you want and even make something that you can keep forever.

11) Do Something New Together

Your elopement day can be activities you are comfortable with and you know. You could also mix in new activities you’ve never done whether that is hiking a new trail, going to different restaurants in Colorado, or doing a helicopter tour. It really can be anything you want.

12) Have A First Dance

You can include some traditional things in your elopement like a first dance. This can be at the same spot as your ceremony location or at another more secluded spot. Colorado is filled with epic spots to share a first dance.

13) Celebrate With Your Dogs

Not only is it really easy to elope in Colorado, you get to celebrate with your dogs. In Colorado, your dog can be a witness and sign your certificate. It doesn’t get better than this.

14) Small Celebration With Family

Finally, you can celebrate your elopement day with family and friends. There are locations that have limited guest counts if you are eloping in the national parks. But, if you decide on other locations or Airbnbs, you will have more freedom with inviting more guests.
