Bear Lake

View on Map
Bear Lake is a small lake with epic mountain peaks in the background. During the winter, the lake freezes over and you can hold the ceremony on the ice. This spot is near to a parking lot and easy to access. Don't forget your snow boots! Ceremonies on Bear Lake are only allowed October 14 - May 25 and no permits are issued on the weekends.

Good to Know Before You Elope Here

Definitely meet at the Visitor Center half hour prior to when you have your ceremony scheduled with all parties. It takes a full half-hour just to drive from the entrance of the park to Bear Lake, so keep that in mind when scheduling! If you have elder folks, feel free to bring them a folding chair. All other decorations and chairs not allowed unless given special permission from Rocky Mountain National Park Reminder not to carry too much. You don’t want a bunch of bags, etc in your photos. In the case of rain, we can duck into your car and wait for the weather to pass (it generally breaks quickly). Otherwise, we can plan for another day. Touch base with us in that case! Bring walking shoes if you intend to wear high heels in your ceremony. You won’t regret the flats, I promise! Note, no dogs are allowed at this location. Speaking of tips, we highly recommend them for your team! $30/person is customary and means a lot for the work they put in! Lastly, don’t forget to have fun. This is a day you’ll remember for the rest of your life (in the special way). Breathe, relax and enjoy. You got this. ;)
