Getting to Buena Vista

Yep - thats right, we're getting married in Colorado. Colorado is a big state...8x the size of Maryland to be exact

Please keep this in mind as your start booking travel arrangements. Just because something looks close on a map, it doesn't mean it is, mountain ranges don't always allow you to get from point A to point B with ease. We have provided some helpful information below. Unfortunately, there is no public airport in Buena Vista. If you are flying, you will need to rent a car to travel the rest of the way - but don't worry the mountain views make the drive fly by!  

ProTip - You'll be driving over mountain passes ( for my fellow flat landers - a mountain pass is a road that goes through a mountain range or over a ridge) and long stretches of highway will you won't have service - screenshot your directions and download your entertainment ahead of time.
