Getting there

From the Denver area, take I-70 W towards Vail. Take the exit for the Vail Pass rest area, milepost 190. Take Shrine Pass Rd (709), the dirt road that heads out from the rest area, for 2.5 miles, then turn left at the parking area. The dirt road is well maintained and a 2-wheel drive car should do just fine. Parking is limited, so please carpool if possible.

Location Notes

Shrine Mountain Inn is at 11,209 ft. If you are prone to altitude sickness, you may want to consider preventative measures. Drink plenty of water and take time to acclimatize if possible. Chloroxygen is a concentrated chlorophyll capsule that the groom's mother has had good luck with. Additionally, alcohol will affect you more strongly at altitude so keep this in mind when consuming alcohol throughout the weekend. The temperatures are also likely to change significantly from day to night, so please bring warm layers. Finally, the ceremony will be in a meadow so heeled shoes are discouraged.
