From the Denver airport, it's around a 3 hour drive to Buena Vista. From the Colorado Springs airport, it's a 2 hour drive, but the flight options are limited and typically more expensive. Unfortunately, there aren't any public or mass transit options that can get you to Buena Vista from either, so we would recommend renting a car. However, both drives are beautiful and take you through Pike-San Isabel National Forest.
Where should I stay?
There are plenty of housing options near the wedding venue, Deer Valley Ranch.
Mount Princeton Hot Springs is very near and dear to the Hendrickson-de Moraes family. Just 5 minutes away from the venue, it has both a hotel and cabins, plus incredible on-site natural hot springs.
There are also some great hotels in Buena Vista, which is around 20 minutes away from the wedding venue. Some options are linked below. As this is peak tourist season, we recommend booking early.
We will provide a shuttle to and from the venue to both Mount Princeton Hot Springs and Buena Vista on the day of the wedding. Please let us know where you end up booking so we can make sure the shuttle picks you up.
