One of the most defining features of Colorado are the Rocky Mountains. People come from all over the world to experience Colorado’s 15 separate mountain ranges and 58 different peaks over 14,000 ft, or fourteeners. Some daring and adventurous couples even come to experience a mountain wedding. One of the tucked-away secrets of Colorado is the Surf Hotel and Chateau in Buena Vista.
