A Mini Adventure Hike With Big Epic Views

Updated For 2024

This is a hidden gem spot - tucked away in the forest on the side of a mountain with gorgeous views of the Continental Divide, rolling forested hills and a rock ledge that seems like it was made by mother nature herself for ceremony.

It’s a cool little mini adventure to get there too. A 20-minute hike through Ponderosa Pine forest to the rock ledge, then a bit more down the trail to the ceremony spot. So you truly hike to your ceremony for this one - it’s a mellow hike, but it’s off the beaten path, so it really feels like your very own trail.

There are so many beautiful spots to have your ceremony and take photos, plus there’s also the breathtaking expansive view from just above the rock ledges, like here in the photo below.
