Peaks, Paddles, & Stars Adventure – Silverton & Ouray, Colorado $5,400

Peaks, Paddles, & Stars Adventure – Silverton & Ouray, Colorado

  • Mountains
  • Off-The-Grid
  • Historic Architecture

Your adventure begins with a morning wildlife search, keeping an eye out for moose in the wetlands, marmots foraging on the rocks, and tiny pika calling from the slopes. After connecting with nature, you’ll step back in time while exploring the weathered remains of a ghost town on the mountainside.

Next, you’ll enjoy a peaceful picnic beside a mountain stream in a wide, grassy gulch– the perfect place to relax together and take in the scenery. The day continues with a paddle across a stunningly blue alpine lake, the water so vibrant it hardly looks real.

As the sun turns golden, you’ll climb to a viewpoint high above the water to exchange your vows with the lake and valley stretched out below you. After your ceremony, you’ll stay out to watch the sky blaze with color as the sun dips behind the peaks.

To finish the day, you’ll embrace the magic of the night, first with lantern-lit portraits in the soft dusk light, and finally, stargazing photos under the night sky.
