Colorado has no shortage of incredible lakes and bodies of water, but they’re definitely not all the same. 🏔️💧
Some are tucked high in the mountains and require a hike to reach. Others are easily accessible right from the road. Some are bright turquoise or deep blue, while others are surrounded by wildflowers, golden aspens, dramatic peaks, or wide open valleys. Some feel huge and expansive, while others are smaller, quiet, and maybe less know.
Choosing the right one isn’t just about finding a pretty lake on Google! I help my couples find locations that actually fit what they want their day to look and feel like, taking into account accessibility, privacy, time of year, lighting, elevation, scenery, and what we can actually DO while we’re there.
Maybe you like to incorporate:
🏄 Paddleboarding or kayaking
🛶 Canoeing
🎣 Fishing
🥾 Hiking to an alpine lake
🧺 A picnic along the shoreline
☕ Coffee at sunrise
🐕 Exploring with your dogs
💍 Or simply finding a quiet spot by the water to exchange your vows
Your elopement location doesn’t have to just be a backdrop; it can be part of the experience! And with so many different lakes, reservoirs, and rivers around Colorado, I’ll help you narrow down the right one for your adventure. 🙌🏔️
