Vail sits 8,150 ft above sea level, which comes with a few things to consider! DRINK WATER! - Before your trip to Vail, and while you are here, drinking plenty of water is the best way to help your body adjust easily to our higher altitude. Monitor Your Alcohol Intake- Alcoholic drinks pack more bang for your buck at altitude than at sea level. It is recommended that you go easy on the alcohol and pair your alcoholic beverage with a glass of water. Dress in Layers – You’re closer to the sun, so it can feel much warmer than the actual temperature during the daytime, but then become chilly when the sun goes down. Pack for Sun – Colorado receives over 300 days of sunshine each year. but there is less protection from the sun at altitude. Sunscreen is a must and don't forget your sunglasses. Enjoy Yourself – Don’t let anything you hear about the altitude scare you. The air is just thinner and dryer. follow these simple tips and you will very likely not even notice the difference.
Piney River Ranch is located at the end of a long, dirt road. It's the best kind of road, if you ask us, but it also requires a little bit more planning than a paved city road to a venue in town. We will be providing shuttles to and from Piney River Ranch. If you plan to utilize the shuttles stay tuned for specific instructions but plan to catch the shuttle from the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort between 2:30 - 3:00pm sharp in order to make it to the venue in time for the ceremony. If you are driving yourself to the ceremony, we ask that you plan to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the ceremony to ensure that all guests can be comfortably seated and ready before the ceremony begins. Parking is available.
