Things To Do

There are so many hidden gems we want to share with you all during our wedding weekend! Plan to stay a while and explore all there is to dig into out west. We recommend trying to get in earlier in the week instead of staying after the wedding- most things close Sunday-Monday so you might have better luck Thursday-Saturday! All of the small towns are pretty sleepy after 9 pm, so it's best to find dinner early. Bars stay open a bit later but it's always a good idea to double check and make sure things are still swinging before heading out on the town.

Check out this google doc of all our favorite places out west.
