Pagosa Springs is at an altitude of 7110 feet. This is considered high altitude, and as such, it’s very important to stay hydrated by drinking A LOT of water and not overexerting yourself within the first day or two of arrival. It is especially important to remember to hydrate whilst drinking alcohol throughout the weekend!
Shuttles will be provided for each event of the weekend. Shuttles are required to be used for the ceremony on Saturday, as outside cars are not allowed on site (it's a fairly long drive on a curvy dirt road, which will best be enjoyed relaxing and taking in the scenery). The two blocked hotels will be the shuttle pick up locations. There are a small number of rental cars available at the Durango Airport. There are few to no Ubers available.
Children are invited to all of the events! However, since shuttles will be taken out and back to the venue, if you have very little ones, they may be happier staying at home. But if you’d like to bring them, let us know and we’d be happy to accommodate!
The average highs in early October are mid to upper 60s, and the average lows are mid to upper 30s. We would recommend bringing layers, especially since the wedding ceremony is outdoors in the morning. As we get closer to the date, we will give an update with the specific forecast.
