Seasons in Estes Park & Rocky Mountain National Park
Let's talk a little about weather and seasons in Estes Park. Colorado is wildly unpredictable when it comes to weather conditions and seasonal differences. In every season, we can experience temperatures in the 70s, for example, that plummet to below-freezing temps on the same day. We may start the day in a tank top and shorts, and be wearing a winter coat later that evening! These wide swings are more common in the mountains (areas above 6000ft) but can happen along the Front Range and eastern plains as well.
Expecting the unexpected is a great mindset to have when planning a wedding in Colorado. There are many things to consider for your event to ensure that you and your guests are comfortable and can fully enjoy the beauty that this area has to offer. The biggest thing to consider while planning a wedding in Estes Park is the ability to have an INDOOR backup space. No matter what time of year you get married, there is a good chance of inclement weather in the Rockies, whether it's a quick passing summer thunderstorm or a regional winter storm. Many of the venues below offer indoor ceremony spaces, and a few offer stellar indoor ceremony sites that are perfect for year-round weddings (like The Boulders at Black Canyon Inn!).
