Oh, Colorado—there’s no place on Earth quite like it. From the stately Rocky Mountains to Denver staking its claim as one of the fastest growing cities in the country, Colorado literally has it all! Whether you’re a native or are enjoying the Columbine state on vacation, there’s no denying that it’s one of the country’s most versatile places to make memories that will last forever. That’s why summer proposals in Colorado are perfect. While we encourage everyone to come up with unique proposal ideas that will fit perfectly into their own love story, here are some of our favorite proposal locations in Colorado. Enjoy!
- Denver Botanic Gardens
If you don’t want to leave the city, you’re in luck because Denver is billowing with romantic locations to set your proposal. But it is the Denver Botanic Gardens that really take the cake. Set among the romantic backdrop of lush greenery and seasonal flora, this beautiful 23-acre park is made for lovers. Plus, there are plenty of hiding places for your photographer friend to hide out and capture the moment.
2. Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Red Rocks is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Denver and is boasted as being one of the most magical places on Earth to see live music. People travel far and wide to see their favorite artists perform some of the most memorable concerts of their career. Plus, active types LOVE to get a workout at Red Rocks with fitness and yoga classes being regular offerings during the summer. For your music lover/yogi girlfriend, this is the perfect spot. We recommend taking a walk at sunset where you can see Denver glistening below you to pop the question.
3. Telluride
Telluride is one of Colorado’s coveted treasures. In the summertime, people from across the country flock to Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Telluride Blues and Brews, and more to enjoy some of the most celebrated musical acts set against a wonderful mountain escape where their worries can melt away. Looking for a one- of-a-kind proposal, take your proposal to new heights. The 13-minute gondola ride to the top of the mountain is sure to be a memorable one.
4. Hanging Lake
For the active outdoorsy types, we cannot recommend the hike to Hanging Lake more. With pools that rival the color of Caribbean shores, Hidden Lake is the perfect location to propose to the water baby in your life. Although it’s a little steep, the hike is not long and the picturesque waterfall at the end is well worth the hike.
