Eloping at Brainard Lake Recreation Area

Morgan and Garrett had a beautiful intimate elopement at the Brainard Lake Recreation Area.

Brainard Lake Recreation Area is one of the most stunning mountain locations in the state for an intimate outdoor ceremony. Featuring pristine alpine waters and rugged peaks, this place is hard to beat. Located roughly 45 minutes from Boulder and about an hour from Denver, this area located just south of RMNP combines ease of access with epic scenery — making it a favorite for couples seeking an outdoor elopement or small wedding.

Morgan and Garrett had an intimate ceremony with their very select guest list right on the Brainard Lake Shore, before heading to Long Lake for a quick hike leads to get a clear look at those amazing alpine views.
