Whether you want the epic mountain views or you want the alpine lakes and waterfalls, Colorado is the best place to elope. Colorado has something for everyone whether you resonate more with the mountains, alpine lakes, sand dunes, red rocks, or the forest. Here are some of the best places to elope in Colorado;
The San Juan Mountains are the most beautiful location. You have rigged mountains, blue alpine lakes, the alpine trees, and waterfalls. This spot is perfect for couples who want a stunning location with the least amount of hiking. The San Juans are also perfect for having a private and intimate elopement ceremony because it is not an overly touristy spot. It is also a perfect spot to take jeep tours or rent your own and explore the backcountry of San Juans. The best time to elope in the San Juan Mountains is in the summer and fall seasons. In the summer, you get the wildflowers and vegetation. In the fall you get to experience the amazing fall foliage in the mountains of Colorado. The San Juan Mountains are one of the most magical locations to elope in Colorado.
Crested Butte is another great location to elope in Colorado. There are beautiful mountain views and wildflowers in the summer. It has similar landscapes to the San Juan Mountains. The best time to elope in Crested Butte is in the summer from late June to mid-July. That’s when you can experience the wildflowers flourishing. In the fall, you get the best weather and all the stunning fall colors. But, most importantly, you get more privacy since there won’t be many visitors at the location in the fall. The wildflowers are usually gone by then and so will the crowds.
Breckenridge is one of my favorite locations to elope. It is easily accessible, it is closer to the Denver airport and there are so many amazing locations to choose from. Some of the best locations to elope in Breckenridge are Boreas Pass, Officers Gulch, Sapphire Point, and Hoosier Pass. There are so many local spots to elope that have lakes and wildflowers. Breckenridge as a whole is a hidden gem. You can elope in Breckenridge, year-round. In the winter, skiing is a very popular activity. In the summer and fall, it is perfect for hiking.
