Ceremony Venue

Wedding guests will enter the Devotion Place across the stone bridge with the babbling brook below. This outdoor site is nestled among the pines on the mountainside with breathtaking vistas in all directions, surrounded by the untouched nature of the Rocky Mountains. The raised stage accommodates the ceremony as the guests sit upon the stone terraced hillside. Occasionally Colorado mountain wildlife join in the celebration!

Health Effects of High Altitude

At the high altitude of Colorado Mountains, everyone is affected to some degree. As you go to the higher altitudes, the barometric pressure decreases, the air is thinner and less oxygen is available. At elevations of 8,000 plus feet many symptoms may occur including: breathing faster and more deeply which results in shortness of breath and exertion, headache, nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual tiredness (this is more commonly referred to as AMS or acute mountain sickness). These symptoms should go away in a day or two. If symptoms persist or worsen a physician should be consulted. Even a short visit to the doctor can save the rest of your trip. What you should do: -> Increase fluid intake - 2 or 3 times normal intake -> Remember, you will be much more sensitive to the effects of alcohol at a higher altitude. -> Maintain moderate physical activity and get plenty of rest. Medications and oxygen can help you feel better.
