Snow Mountain Ranch, YMCA Of The Rockies located in Grand County Colorado between Winter Park and Grand Lake is a great little (5,000+ acres) off the beaten path wedding venue run by the YMCA!

With an background in outdoor education I love working in places that teach stewardship and promote spending time in nature, so SMR is a great location for me!  SMR, or Snow Mountain is a perfect affordable mountain venue with amazing mountain views, plus it can accommodate up to 250 guests with year round on site lodging!  There are a couple of options for outdoor wedding ceremonies – Columbine Point (pictured in the first photo below) and The Rowley Homestead (pictured in the next two photos below).  Read about their other locations, like in Estes Park at: http://ymcarockies.org/home/groups/weddings/

PS.  For receptions, the Leggett Lodge Building includes a good sized outdoor deck and yard space for outdoor games and for kids to run around!  Check back for reception photos soon!
