Cottonwood Pass Elopement in Colorado

Eloping in Colorado in October may be a risk, but it comes with epic rewards. October is the beginning of the snow season in Colorado’s peaks, especially when you get to 12,000 and higher. Some of our favorite spots in Colorado will be at peak foliage, the Aspen trees showing off their golden leaves. Oftentimes there can be an overall of autumn and winter, and while you may arrive in CO to sun and warm temperatures, don’t count out the reality that you could wake up to a fresh coating of snow!
