Flight
Probably the easiest and most economical way to fly is to book your flight to Denver International Airport (DIA), then rent a car and drive to Salida, Colorado. The "road trip" to Salida is approximately 3 hours with stops. Salida is the town where the Hampton Inn & Suites is located (along with shuttle transportation Friday night and Saturday night wedding events at the Steel Horse in Villa Grove, Colorado).
Flight
Colorado Springs is an excellent airport choice for ease and convenience to the southern part of Colorado. If you fly in to Colorado Springs, you will need a rental car to make the 2 hour and 15 minute drive to Salida.
Hotel
The Steel Horse is our one-stop wedding destination! All our wedding events will take place on-site at this gorgeous Colorado ranch property. Stay With Us! There is a limited number of "Glamping" tents and full hook-up RV camping spots available at the ranch. If you have the interest/means to stay at the ranch, we encourage you to do so! That will allow us to see more of you, reduce your transportation time and create a lovely little forest wedding atmosphere. Please send an email to saralynnhyatt@proton.me if you are interested in reserving one of the RV or “glamping”/camping spots for the weekend and we will make the necessary arrangements for you. These additional on-site spots are first-come-first-served.
