There will not be a shuttle provided, however there are several options if you need to travel from Denver International Airport. There are numerous airport shuttles that you can reserve ahead of time (Estes Park Shuttle), or your can rent a car at the airport. If you are staying in the reunion cabins, you will not need transportation for any weekend activities once you are in Estes Park but for those not staying at the reunion cabins (even at other lodge-style rooms at the YMCA), it is recommended that you have access to a rental car/personal vehicle to get around Estes Park. Please note that Uber and Lyft are not available in Estes Park, so your best options are reserving an airport shuttle and staying the reunion cabins or getting a rental vehicle for the weekend.

Question
What should I pack?
Answer
Most of the activities for the weekend will be casual and Estes Park is a rustic/casual town since it is right outside of Rocky Mountain National Park. Due to this, we recommend packing casual clothes for the weekend. Weather in May is unpredictable in Estes Park since is at a higher elevation, so it's recommended to be prepared for all kinds of weather, including snow/colder temperatures, rain/sleet, and warm weather. If you are planning on participating in the guided hike on Saturday, please bring comfy walking shoes/hiking boots that are suitable for all weather types (waterproof shoes recommended). Recommended dress for the wedding ceremony & reception is business/semi-formal, but the ceremony will be held outside and there will be a short walk (0.1 miles) on a dirt path from the ceremony site to the reception site, so please dress accordingly. All meals, snacks, and basic toiletries will be provided for those staying in the reunion cabins so outside of casual clothes for the weekend and attire for the wedding, that should be all you need to enjoy the weekend :)
