Luxury Elopement Locations in Colorado

Alta Lakes Observatory

In a state full of beautiful places, cool cabins, and stunning scenery, Alta Lakes Observatory is near the very top of the list. Located just above the town of Telluride this private, backcountry cabin (with all the creature comforts) backs to Telluride mountain and is one of the most beautiful places in Colorado. Best of all? It can be rented for your luxury Colorado elopement!

San sophia overlook

Another Telluride gem (can you tell how much I love Telluride?), San Sophia Overlook can be easily reached by taking the gondola from either the town of Telluride or Mountain Village. This stunning little deck looks out over town with the San Juan Mountains and Bridal Veil Falls in the background. It’s all the views with none of the hiking. After your elopement relax at any number of resort hotels in town.

Gateway Canyons

Unbeknown to most people, the far western edge of Colorado is actually a lot more like Utah than it what you think of as Colorado. Think deserts and red rock canyons. This makes it the PERFECT spot for a desert-inspired elopement in Colorado (where unlike in neighboring Utah you don’t need an officiant!). Stay at the gorgeous Gateway Canyons Resort and, if you’re feeling adventurous, take a helicopter tour for a birds eye view of the places you eloped.
