The easiest way is to fly to Denver and from there drive to Winter Park along I-70 and then I-40
Winter Park is gorgeous in the fall. While we cannot exactly plan the weather, historically, Winter Park hovers around 30-40 degrees in the mornings and at night with sunny warm mid 60s during the day. When we visited, we wore our jackets in the mornings and were in light sweaters during the day but it does get chilly at night!
The distance between Denver and Winter Park is about 100 miles and will take about 1 hour and 50 minutes. The drive is absolutely amazing nestled between mountains, lots of beautiful trees, and small waterfalls. You don't want to miss this drive so driving during the day is recommended for both scenery and safety.
The most important thing is that you are comfortable (& warm), however, if you would like to ensure that you will match us for photos you can try to stick to fall colors like rust, deep greens, brown, burgundy, terracotta orange, or tans. We would love to celebrate with everyone dressed up and fancy but if you absolutely detest getting dressed up, feel free to wear what you will be most comfortable in.
After formal invitations are mailed out, a tab will open right next to the "FAQs" tab and invited guests will be able to RSVP through this website. Information on how to do this will be included on our invitations, however, you can always reach out to Jessica for help.
