There are a few airport options to choose from depending on your timeline. You will need to plan a whole day for travel as we live in a remote area of Colorado.

DRO is one hour from Pagosa Springs. You will need to fly into Dallas (DFW), Denver (DEN), or Phoenix (PHX) before connecting to Durango. This is the closest airport to us but can be expensive.

DIA is 5.5 hours away from Pagosa Springs. If you have the time it is definitely worth a road-trip from Denver. You will drive through a large portion of the state with gorgeous views and lots of awesome mountain towns along the way!

ABQ is 3.5 hours from Pagosa Springs. We'd recommend making stops at some of our favorite places in New Mexico, including Santa Fe and Taos.

One of the best things about Colorado is the weather! Expect the weather to be hot and dry during the day and cool at night. Pagosa gets lots of sun, but there is always potential for an afternoon storm in the mountains. Come prepared with layers!

Unfortunately due to space limitations, we are having an adults-only reception and ceremony. We are happy to assist anyone make arrangements for child care if needed.

There will be a shuttle service that will be bringing guests from town to the wedding venue. There will be a pick-up and drop off location central to downtown as well as in our neighborhood. If you would like to drive to the wedding, please reach out directly to Emily or Matt to make arrangements since we are only allowed to have 10 cars on the property.

Casual wedding attire! Wear something you will be comfortable in. It's important to bring layers to the wedding as the temperature drops at night. If you are planning on wearing high heels we strongly suggest bringing an extra pair of comfortable shoes. The entire wedding will be outside and the barn has a gravel floor.
