See below for transportation, attire & other details.

TRANSPORTATION

To ensure our friends and family are able to fully enjoy the ceremony and celebration, we will be providing buses to take you from Boulder (departing from Chautauqua) to the ceremony, from the ceremony to the celebration, and from the celebration back to Boulder (dropping off at Chautauqua).

If you anticipate needing to leave before 10pm, are coming from somewhere other than Boulder, or have children that need car seats, you can drive your car to the ceremony and celebration. See below for directions and parking information.

BUS TIMES

11:45 am | Buses load at Chautauqua.

WHERE TO MEET THE BUSES: Our three buses will be loading in the parking lot north of the Chautauqua Ranger Cottage. Look for the friendly people and the "C+Z" signs.

DRIVING to Chautauqua? Be sure to leave yourself at least 15 extra minutes to allow for traffic & finding parking; the festival in downtown Boulder this weekend will mean heavy traffic and Chautauqua’s parking lot fills up very early on weekends so you may need to find street parking.

Mountain chic! Wear something that makes you feel fun, festive and a bit fancy!

(For those who want something less cryptic, this means more dressy than tennis shoes or hiking books but less dressy than a black tie suit. Anything in between (including business casual, casual suits and sundresses) will look great!)

Warmth: Once the sun sets, it will likely get chilly (possibly down to 50s). Though we will have heaters and a campfire to help you stay toasty, our celebration will be completely outdoors so we recommend bringing extra layers such as jackets, wraps, warm hats, and leggings to put on or change into.

Footware: There is variable terrain, including grassy meadows and dirt paths, at both the ceremony and celebration. We'll be wearing nice leather boots!

Sun protection: The sun can be intense at 9,000 feet, so please plan accordingly! We recommend sunscreen and SPF lip balm, and perhaps a straw hat or parasol.

Hydration: Staying hydrated is key to being happy in the mountains! Please bring a water bottle for the ceremony. We also recommend drinking extra water as soon as you arrive in Colorado.

Guitars/instruments: Bring your guitar or other instruments for songs around the campfire!

Disc golf discs: The Moore’s “Back 40” now has a 9 hole course!

Kitchen sink: Just kidding! : )

Note: We respectfully request that you do not bring any dogs or other pets.
