When should I arrive?
Festivities will begin the evening of Thursday, September 26th. If you plan to attend only the wedding and reception on Friday, September 27th, it is possible to arrive day-of prior to the ceremony and celebrations. If that is your gameplan, please hit the road early in the day and account for the near-inevitable traffic slowdowns that occur on I-70.
What kind of clothing should I pack?
The weather in the Rocky Mountains during Fall is generally mild. Daytime temperatures will generally reach the 60s-70s while nighttime temps can get chilly. Bring comfortable walking/hiking shoes if you wish to hit the trails. All the world's a stage and Aspen is a circus—so now is the time to dress loud and flashy.
Can we pet a moose in Aspen?
Yes! They like it when you do that!! Jokes aside—wildlife is a very real thing in the mountains. Never approach wildlife. Keep your distance. Do not feed wildlife. Moose are very aggressive and are not your friends. Aspen has black bears. There are no grizzlies in this neck of the woods. Bears often come into downtown Aspen looking for snacks during September and October before hibernation. Read more about wildlife safety here: + Wildlife Safety Tips
