Lookout Mountain can’t be beat if you are looking for mountain views in close proximity to Denver. Sitting less than a 30 minute drive from Downtown Denver, this area in Golden, is a perfect spot for those wanting a mountain escape in arms reach of the city.
Regan+Tanna chose to have their intimate destination elopement in the beautiful landscape on Lookout Mountain. Having only a short amount of time on their wedding trip, they didnt want to stray too far from the Denver airport to get both mountains and woodsy whimsical vibes for photos. They were blessed with a heavy and fresh snow the night before their wedding, giving them the winter elopement of their dreams!
