What options are there for lodging nearby?
Answer

Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
The welcome event is casual! Just be sure to dress prepared for cool weather and have shoes good for walking on various dirt/gravel surfaces. The ceremony will be dressy casual. We’d love for you to dress up while staying comfortable in the beautiful mountain setting. Dress pants or chinos with a button-up, a midi or cocktail dress, a dressy jumpsuit, or any polished outfit that feels elevated but not overly formal would be appropriate. Blazers and ties are welcome but not required. Since we’ll be celebrating outdoors, we recommend comfortable footwear and a light layer for the evening!
Question
What footwear can I wear?
Answer
Men's formal or dress shoes will be appropriate. Heels will be impractical, but flats and wedges will work! Many areas are dirt and gravel and there are some grated metal stairs, so keep that in mind when choosing footwear!
Question
Will the altitude affect me?
Answer
Yes. Alcohol will have a stronger affect on all of us, especially folks visiting from near sea level. Also, stay hydrated! It's easier to become dehydrated at high altitudes.
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes, though keep in mind that alcohol will have a stronger effect at altitude. Compared to near-sea level, one drink can have the effect of about two.
Question
Is parking available at the venue?
Answer
Yes, there is parking available for all guests.
Question
Will the wedding be outdoors?
Answer
The ceremony site is outside near the middle of the property. The reception dinner is indoors, and cocktail hour will be inside and outside.

Question
What's it like getting around the venue?

Question
What is the smoking policy?
Answer
Smoking is allowed outside but prohibited inside any buildings.
Question
Do I need an all-wheel drive car?
Answer
It's the safe choice! There's still a chance this time of year that Bailey sees snowfall. It will melt quickly, but it could impact the roads when you're on your way in or out of the mountains.
