Our Story

Somewhere between the sails and the snowcapped peaks, we said yes to forever.

A few short paragraphs from Lauren and Christopher go here: how they met, the proposal, and what this weekend means to them.

Now we're heading to the mountains to celebrate with the people we love most, and we'd love for you to be there.

Getting Here

Travel & Directions

Pikes Peak Ranch sits high in the forest north of Woodland Park. Two airports will get you close; a car gets you the rest of the way.

DEN

Denver International

About 2 hours to the ranch

The biggest airport in the region, with the most nonstop flights, and a beautiful drive into the foothills.

COS

Colorado Springs

About 50 minutes to the ranch

Smaller and much closer to the venue, with fewer flight options.

Rental Cars

Plan on a car

Rideshares are unreliable in the mountains and can't be counted on for pickup at the ranch, so we recommend renting a car from either airport. Turo is a great option too.

Guest discount codes will be listed here once they're confirmed.

Driving Directions

The way up

From Denver

Please don't take the route through Sedalia. Follow the one below.

Take Hwy 285 to Pine Valley Road, a fully paved and scenic drive along the North Fork of the South Platte River. At Deckers, bear right onto CO-67. After 9 miles, turn right onto Abbey Ave. The last two miles to the ranch are hard-packed dirt.

From Colorado Springs

Take US-24 West to Woodland Park. Turn right to head north on CO-67, then left onto Abbey Ave. The last two miles to the ranch are hard-packed dirt.

Tap for directions. See you in the mountains.
Where to Stay

Lodging Nearby

We're celebrating in the mountains, so lodging looks a little different. The closest stays are vacation rentals near the ranch. For more amenities, look to one of these three towns.

25min

Woodland Park

The closest town to the ranch. A relaxed mountain community with restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and groceries.

Hotel room block details coming soon.

40min

Manitou Springs

A walkable, historic mountain town full of local shops and restaurants, right at the base of Pikes Peak Highway. Great for making a longer trip of it.

Hotel room block details coming soon.

50min

Colorado Springs

The farthest option, with the most hotels, dining, and shopping, plus Garden of the Gods just down the road.

Hotel room block details coming soon.

Airbnb & VRBO

Vacation rentals

Vacation rentals will put you closest to the ranch, though a bit farther from groceries and restaurants. Need help finding one? Reach out and we'll share a few we love.

Good to Know

Questions, answered

Can't find what you need? Just text us.

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Both. Dinner and dancing are indoors; everything else is outside, weather permitting. Every surface is concrete or pavers, so heels are safe.

What should I wear?

Attire details are coming soon.

What will the weather be like?

Mountain weather changes fast. Expect warm afternoons and cool evenings, so bring a layer for after sunset.

Will transportation be provided?

Transportation details are coming soon.

Where do I park?

There's plenty of parking on site, and an attendant will point you in the right direction when you arrive.

Can I bring a plus one?

Guest policy to be confirmed by Lauren and Christopher.

Are kids invited?

Guest policy to be confirmed by Lauren and Christopher.

Make a Trip of It

Things to Do

Flying in early or staying late? A few places worth your time along the Front Range.

See

Garden of the Gods

Towering red rock formations with easy, paved trails. Free to visit and best at sunrise.

Ride

Pikes Peak Highway

Drive (or take the Cog Railway) to 14,115 feet for views that stretch across four states.

Stroll

Downtown Manitou Springs

Historic streets, mineral springs, galleries, and some of the best people-watching in the state.

Hike

The Manitou Incline

About 2,700 steps straight up the mountain. Not for the faint of heart, but worth the bragging rights.
