Q + A

Getting to Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs has a conveniently located airport less than 15 minutes away from our venue! Alternatively, you can fly into Denver International Airport, located just under 1 hour and 30 minutes away by driving.

Where to Stay

Colorado Springs has a multitude of housing options! Get together with a group of family or friends and rent a house or cabin from AirBNB, or choose from several hotels located just minutes from the venue or airport. Because this is a destination wedding for most of our friends and family, we opted out of a hotel room block to give you the freedom to extend your stay! However, if you book through this <a href="https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1688065439016&amp;key=CORP&amp;app=resvlink" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">link</a>, you will receive a discounted rate on a participating Marriott hotel of your choice! Book quickly! Flights and accommodations tend to fill up fast this time of year.

Travel

Drive through or park and hike around the Garden of the Gods! You can even check out their website for jeep tours, rock climbing, special scavenger hunts, and more!

Palmer Park is a recreation paradise in the center of Colorado Springs. At 730.7 acres in size, the park contains over 25 miles of rocky, hardpacked dirt trails for horseback riding, mountain biking, and hiking. Trails are generally single track, but there are also double track trails and dirt roads.

North Cheyenne&nbsp;Cañon Park is located on the southwest side of Colorado Springs.&nbsp;Drive, hike or bike from the entrance of the canyon up to Helen Hunt Falls. Beyond Helen Hunt Falls, North Cheyenne Canyon Road continues until it reaches Gold Camp Road. There is a large parking area where bikers, hikers and runners can access additional trails. We recommend taking a scenic drive through the Park, stopping to see Helen Hunt Falls, and then take a quick hike up Mt. Cutler for some beautiful 360 degree views!

Kairos is one of our Colorado Springs favorites! It's a local coffee shop owned and ran by YWAM Colorado Springs. Be sure to swing by on your way in or out of town as they will be closed on the big day!

Kairos Coffee House

For those beer aficionados who are looking for a local brewery in the area, look no further than Ivywild School! In this unique location of school house turned gastro-pub marketplace, you can find a variety of foods and drinks for the whole family. It has some great options of house brewed IPAs, lagers and beers. It's also a great option to grab a bite to eat and enjoy the bustling atmosphere and beauty of Colorado Springs. We recommend the Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza from Decent Pizza Co and a Beehive Honey Wheat Ale from Bristol Brewing Company!

As headquarters to the missions organization, The Navigators, the hospitality ministry at Glen Eyrie strives to draw our guests closer to what matters by inviting people to join us for historic Castle tours, teas, overnight stays, personal retreats, conferences and more. Visitors can grab a coffee and browse books and gifts in the Glen Eyrie Bookstore, located in the historic Carriage House, or have afternoon tea served in the Castle Music Room. Guests can also stay overnight in the Castle or in one of the other six lodges on property. Wildlife is abundant, the views are spectacular, and a memorable experience is always waiting! *Reservations required for overnight stays, tours, or tea. If you'd just like to take a peek, tell the attendant that you are visiting the bookstore!

Glen Eyrie Castle

Experience an iconic Colorado Springs resort where personalized luxury and impeccable service offers an escape from the ordinary and modern details blend seamlessly with timeless European elegance. Here, the spirit of the West inspires the adventurer within, providing endless opportunities to explore the picturesque mountains, streams, and canyons that have influenced generations.

For a unique dining experience, look no further than The Airplane restaurant! Just minutes from Colorado Springs Airport, this restaurant is one of a kind. We recommend setting aside some time to experience eating in the retired Boeing KC-97 tanker, but they do have a normal section of the resturant as well. Grab some delicous burgers and fries, then afterwards, hop up into the cockpit where you can relive history!

The Airplane Restaurant

Short on air, but not on views. Located just north of Colorado Springs, at the base of the Front Range, this campus sits on 18,500 acres of breathtaking mountain panoramas. The youngest of five military service academies where 4,000 exceptional young men and women from across the United States become future leaders in service to our nation.
