We're Getting Married!

Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Taylan Rope and Jaxon Grogan
We're so excited to share a few of our favorite things to do with you. From hiking and fishing to downtown hangouts and we can't forget about exploring the great bites to eat and places to grab a drink! Our venue is in Nathrop, which is between the beautiful town of Buena Vista and Salida. Nathrop is roughly 10 minutes to downtown BV and around 20 minutes to downtown Salida. Both towns offer wonderful mountain views, sights, bites, and shopping!

For the adrenaline junkies out there, here is a great 14er that showcases beautiful views of the Rockies! Located in the San Isabel National Forest, this is one of Jax and my favorite 14ers! If you are feeling extra crazy, you can do Tabeguache Peak in the same day!

Buena Vista

Between the Collegiate Peaks and the Arkansas River, Buena Vista is more than worth it to check out! There is plenty of great coffee shops, breweries, ice cream and shopping in downtown BV. There is also some great hidden gems including the hot springs, hiking to Ptarmigan Lake (6 miles round trip), Lost Lake (a little over 3 miles round trip), white water rafting, walking along the Arkansas River trail and more! You will never go wrong spending a few hours exploring BV! Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or want to know more! We are so excited to have everyone explore our favorite spots!

Pizza Rio serves the best New-York-Style thin crust pizza with some crazy topping combinations and lots of fun cocktails to try!
