Answer

HOW DO I GET TO STEAMBOAT? We have a lot more detail on the "Travel" page of our website, but to summarize, most of our guests will either fly into Denver International Airport (DEN), a 3 to 4 hour drive to Steamboat ski mountain, or Yampa Valley Regional Airport located in Hayden Colorado (HDN), a 35 minute drive to Steamboat ski mountain. From both airports, you can rent a car, or book a shared or private shuttle to the Steamboat Ski Mountain base.

CAN I WEAR MY 4” STILETTOS TO THE WEDDING? Although the tent is floored and carpeted, the ceremony, cocktails and outdoor space is grass so we highly recommend something with a chunky heal or flats. There is also a short walk to the loo on a dirt/gravel road. If you need assistance ranch staff is there to help!

WHAT’S THE ELEVATION IN STEAMBOAT? Steamboat sits at 6732 ft above sea level. If you are not used to altitude, remember to drink plenty of water, stay hydrated and don’t over do it your first day in town. The elevation also means you’re closer to the sun so please remember to bring your sunscreen!
