Example of a Mini Elopement:
Velocity Basin
4x4 road (easy) behind Silverton
Alpine lake with mountain views, multiple viewpoints and a river at the lake entrance
(A few from early summer in there for feel)
Molas Lake and Little Molas
Close to Durango
2WD accessible road to Molas, easy 4x4 to Little Molas
One more for good Fall time location - ASPEN
Castle Creek, Ashcroft, and Maroon Bells
4x4 to castle creek (there is a 2WD lot to meet at 1/4 mile from the beaver pond) - happy to drive up
Ashcroft is a pull off
Maroon Bells does NOT require a permit to photograph in (or even say vows) as long as we don't use the Amphitheater
