Question

What is the attire of the weekend events?

Answer

Friday Welcome Event - Summer Casual (sundresses/polos/button downs) & pack a light sweater or jacket as the event is outdoors. THE BIG EVENT *WEDDING* - Cocktail (tea length/maxi/suits/ties) & pack a light sweater or jacket as the pavilion is outdoors. *Feel free to reach out to us if you want us to check out your outfit, or have questions!

Question

If children are invited to the welcome event only, what about the ceremony and reception?

Answer

The ceremony and reception are 21+ only due to space restrictions. But don't worry, we have you covered! We have booked the largest cabin at Grand Lake Lodge, which will be designated for child care during the ceremony and reception. We will hire childcare specialists to watch the kiddos from 2:30 - 10 pm on Saturday, July 20th. The Elk Lodge is a short 5-minute walk from the reception pavilion so child pick-up can happen at any point in time.

Question

Are dogs allowed?

Answer

Yes! Each cabin allows dogs if you choose to bring your furry friend an additional pet fee of $50 per pet - although dogs are NOT allowed during any of the events.

Question

I've never been to Colorado before in the summer, what should I pack?

Answer

-During the day: Shorts, t-shirt, rain jacket (afternoon storms) -At night: Temps can drop to 50s, so plan for a coat or light jacket for the wedding, post wedding, walking between cabins. -Sunscreen & sunglasses! The sun shines 300 days of the year, so we highly recommend having protection handy. -Swimming gear - We are not only on Grand Lake, but they also have a pool onsite if you are staying in the cabins. -Hiking/Walking Shoes - The lodge is right in Rocky Mountain National Park, so tons of trails to look up and try out while you are here!

Question

Transportation: What are my options to get to Grand Lake Lodge?

Answer

-Rental car: Each cabin site allows for a vehicle to park -Shuttles: There are a variety of shuttle companies that can be booked to transport guests to and from the airport -Ubers and Lyfts are not common in this area, so please plan accordingly as we want our guests to be as safe as possible.

Question

I have never been to Colorado, will I feel any altitude sickness?

Answer

Denver is known as the mile high city - 5,280 ft above sea level, and Grand Lake is 8,439 ft above sea level. The best way to adapt to the altitude is to stay hydrated! Some people feel the difference, some don't so when in doubt have your water bottles ready. Another note - 1 drink at altitude = 2-3 drinks at sea level!
