We are so thankful to all our beloved friends and family who are traveling to be with us on the most important day of our lives! We know Glenwood Springs is a bit of a more remote location. To aide in making travel plans, we have provided a great deal of information below. Please review the suggested travel options to see what will work best for you and yours. We are so grateful for your time and willingness to come witness our marriage and celebrate with us!

We recommend staying at either of the two following hotels where we have group discount rates. Both of these hotels are within walking distance of each other and in prime locations to walk to the hot springs, shops, and restaurants, alleviating the need for a rental car throughout the stay. Additionally, the welcome party will be held at the Hotel Colorado. Staying at either of these hotels will allow for proximity to the welcome party as well as the pick up/drop off point for the shuttle to and from the wedding venue.

We have put together a list of many travel options to assist in planning. Our goal with providing transportation to and from the wedding and suggesting hotels within walking distance of everything needed for the weekend was to alleviate guests' need to have a rental car all weekend. There is a great, very clean and safe, bus system that can transport guests all throughout the Roaring Fork Valley (Aspen to Glenwood Springs), if desired.

Additionally, using "Google Flights" is a very helpful search engine for checking which flights/airports/times would be the most economical.
